Schorsmolen: a mixed urban neighbourhood
The neighbourhood Schorsmolen is a dense, very strongly urban area with over 4,000 addresses per km². Most households are single-person (about 2,000 out of 2,600), and there are few families with children. Based on three reviews, opinions are divided. One resident calls it a "junkenhol" and mentions "lots of drug addicts and homeless people hanging around here. The front door looks like a rubbish dump, nobody cleans it up, the council does nothing about it." Another says: "My neighbourhood is safe and close to all shops, sometimes I get bothered by bicycles during a festival or special events, but overall it's fine to live here." A third has lived here six years and "never had any unpleasant experiences."
