The Eilandenbuurt West neighbourhood
Residents of the wider Eilandenbuurt district give their living environment an average score of 8.03, based on five reviews. One resident, who lived there for 23 years, says: "We lived here very pleasantly for 23 years and because our house became too big for us, given our age, we bought a smaller home. This neighbourhood is characterised by a number of favourable factors: little turnover of residents, people are quite neighbourhood-minded and have excellent contacts with each other. Helpful, annual neighbourhood BBQ, quiet surroundings with plenty of greenery." Another resident notes: "Super. Helping each other, reaching the bus. Close to the motorway. Lots of supermarkets, antisocial speeding boats..." A third describes it as "truly fantastic, a quiet neighbourhood with nice people, a mixed neighbourhood of elderly, children, plenty of facilities for playing and entertainment." The district has about 1,790 residents, and 56% of households include children. These reviews reflect the district as a whole, not just this specific neighbourhood.
