How residents experience their district
Fine neighbourhood, never had any problems with it
Auto-translated to English by AILiving here since summer holiday, primary and secondary school in the neighbourhood, large spacious neighbourhood, clean and tidy, Apenheul and park in the neighbourhood. Close to everything, absolutely great
Auto-translated to English by AII think Orden is a nice neighbourhood to live in; Ordenplein is nearby and there you have the most convenient and necessary shops. There are plenty of playgrounds for children and it's really cosy in the neighbourhood. In addition, there are primary schools in the area and also 2 secondary schools close to Orden. Safety is fine in itself in my opinion, but I do notice that when you cycle through Orden in the evening, for example, it gives a less safe feeling; I experience this myself because a few years ago there was a shooting of a random passer-by related to drug trafficking. I think the neighbourhood seems safer than it is, because I don't experience much trouble myself.

How residents experience their municipality
Very calm environment with very friendly people
Auto-translated to English by AIA simple neighbourhood but nowadays everything is being crammed into vacant houses. Families that mess up the front and back gardens. This has been reported several times but the housing association thinks it's fine and doesn't consider the neighbours. A school with a lot of traffic nuisance and dog owners who walk their dogs on a children's playground without cleaning up. There is also dealing on the school grounds in the dark evenings and it takes a while before the police or enforcement arrive.
Auto-translated to English by AINeighbourhood is nicely quiet
Auto-translated to English by AIused to be a fine area but for a few years now the living pleasure and safety in the neighbourhood have been declining a lot. drug dealing in the evening with a lot of noise and parking nuisance
Auto-translated to English by AII've lived here for 55 years now, but it's not getting any nicer. In the beginning it was good living. I live alone now; both my parents died here. I was allowed to stay, but now I live among very different kinds of people. I would like to leave, but the housing association sets so many requirements that I'll probably end up staying.
Auto-translated to English by AIEveryone does their best in this beautiful neighbourhood, just like the shopping centre de Eglantier around the corner. I have lived in de Warenargaarde for more than 20 years and am very satisfied, peace and hope that we may have it for a long time together with our neighbours.
Auto-translated to English by AIA beautiful quiet area with lots of nature nearby.
Auto-translated to English by AII have only had bad experiences with the neighbourhood. And it is very unsafe because of drug addicts. And the municipality does nothing except point fingers at each other. The community is also nothing, we have very little greenery. Only accessible by car. And furthermore no public transport nearby and no shops in the area.
