Experiences from Vijfhoek
How residents experience their neighbourhood
De vijfhoek is a very pleasant neighbourhood to live in. Everyone knows each other and is kind to one another. Very occasionally some youngsters come down the street, but that's part of it. All the shops and restaurants are just around the corner, so you're there in no time. There isn't much nature unfortunately, but if you hop on your bike you'll soon reach a forest.
Auto-translated to English by AII think it's a very nice place to live. Everything is conveniently close by and I live right by the water, where I usually go paddleboarding in the summer. The parks are also very nice, I'm there quite often.
Auto-translated to English by AIThe needs of a cat or dog are done at my doorstep (which I can't do anything about) and it is never cleaned up.

Experiences from Oude Stad
How residents experience their district
Have lived here since 1992, still think it's a beautiful neighbourhood, but social contacts are decreasing.
Auto-translated to English by AILovely neighbourhood to live in, old part of the city. Cleaning and greenery leave something to be desired.
Auto-translated to English by AICosy....lots of greenery, beautiful street lighting and great to be able to live here
Auto-translated to English by AII've lived here for 33 years and I still walk around proudly at how beautiful the neighbourhood is, but connections and social contacts have deteriorated in the last few years, partly due to the "inbreeding" and greater differences between rich and poor.
Auto-translated to English by AII've been living here for a short while due to homelessness, but it's a nice and busy neighbourhood to live in, always something going on and always something to do. It's still a city so greenery and housing always remain a bit rubbish, but well, where in the Netherlands don't you have that?

Auto-translated to English by AIHave lived here for 32 years. Pleasant neighbourhood in itself. Could do with a bit more attention now and then, e.g. emptying containers.

Experiences from Haarlem
How residents experience their municipality
very nice and beautiful neighbourhood.
Auto-translated to English by AII've lived here for almost 30 years. It used to be pleasant: clean, good contact with neighbours, etc. But due to the steady influx of Muslims, the neighbourhood is going downhill. Lots of litter lying around, misuse of rubbish bins (throwing all sorts next to them), not being open to contact, their children breaking things... in short: they have no connection with the neighbourhood and its residents. It creates an unpleasant atmosphere..

Auto-translated to English by AISad people have no life, they ruin others' lives
Auto-translated to English by AIBy lively I mean that there are many hip young people living here and there are many amenities and infrastructure in the neighbourhood, but it is anonymous because people don't really know each other. You live there and know your neighbours, but you don't really know your neighbours' neighbours. Many people move often.
Auto-translated to English by AIx
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's a shame that you see more and more rubbish lying around everywhere and more and more things are being demolished.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt is outdated, rubbish on the streets, flats don't look very nice
