Zuidwestkwadrant-Zuid is a diverse neighbourhood with around 6,200 residents. It's densely built up (over 4,500 addresses per km²) and very urban. The population is a mix of families and singles, with many households with children. Based on four reviews, opinions vary. One resident calls it "Adequate" and notes: "Plenty of educational opportunities, supermarkets like Albert Heijn and Jumbo... Many playgrounds, so really family-friendly." Another is less positive, saying "Could be better" and mentioning "so often bombs and explosions. And a lot of rubbish thrown on the ground." A third review, titled "Hamas headquarters", complains about a pro-Palestine building and lack of Dutch shops, but adds "nice area for walking and cycling. The city is accessible from all sides." So it's a neighbourhood with character, not for everyone, but with real plus points. Read more about the neighbourhood Zuidwestkwadrant-Zuid.

Hardly any Dutch shops... mostly Muslim. On Tussenmeer 85 there is a squatter's pro-Palestine building... while everything is being done in the neighbourhood to make it nice. The building is full of Palestine flags and hate texts. We want more Dutch shops... For the rest... nice area for walking and cycling. The city is accessible from all sides and everything is well reachable. All shops are present.
Auto-translated to English by AIAdequate/average (not bad, but not fantastic either. Just normal), it's not the best, but no neighbourhood is; things can always change/improve. Plenty of educational opportunities, supermarkets like Albert Heijn and Jumbo, a bit further (15 minutes walk) there's also the centre with all sorts of other amenities such as shops, supermarkets, ice cream shops, restaurants, etc. Many playgrounds, so really family-friendly. However, I must admit that there is little parking space, possibly due to these amenities. Hygiene could also be better; there is often some rubbish on the ground that doesn't belong there, like cans etc. Housing: there are many homes and houses in the neighbourhood, also with private and shared garages, so really great.
Auto-translated to English by AIThere are so often bombs and explosions. And a lot of rubbish thrown on the ground. Constant arguments. Many young people with fitbikes. Almost got run over.
Auto-translated to English by AIVaried. I can't describe it with one word because in some areas it differs greatly from another. One aspect is simply a bit less good, for example there is very little parking space. Other areas are really great, everything is nearby, much is within walking distance, think schools, supermarkets, city centre, restaurants etc. That there is little greenery is not surprising when you live in a neighbourhood. Hygiene could also be better in my opinion, there are many things always on the street while there is a bin just 1 metre away.
