The Rustenburg neighbourhood
Rustenburg is a densely built urban area with a mix of ages and household types. Around half the homes are owner-occupied, and the neighbourhood has a high proportion of single-person households. Residents' experiences vary: one says it's "reasonably pleasant to live" but notes concerns about loitering youths and fires near the Apeldoornselaan. Another describes "great concern about increasing crime and theft," including break-ins and a cargo bike stolen. A third finds it "safe but quite far from the city" and noisy. These three reviews give a mixed picture of the Rustenburg neighbourhood.
Life on the street
For daily shopping, an Albert Heijn is just around the corner, with a Jumbo and another Albert Heijn a couple of streets away. The area is well served by trams 4 and 6 right outside the door, and the Zuiderpark is a ten-minute walk away. The municipality of the municipality of Den Haag provides urban amenities typical of a very strong urbanity level.
