Another resident notes: "Nice neighbourhood with park. Cosy flat with many elderly residents. A nice dog walking area that I look out onto. Also a beautiful park. However, too few shops, so little choice unfortunately. Only the park is not lit and there are regularly homeless people who also sleep in the bushes! The park is well maintained though. In short, I am very satisfied with the neighbourhood." These reviews reflect the wider municipality, not just this neighbourhood. For more on the local area, see the Levendaal-Oost neighbourhood.
