Auto-translated to English by AII live right in the middle of Middelland. It's a very good neighbourhood. There's a real mix of people. There's something for everyone. There are nice singles, schools, playgrounds, Marktplein and a square where fun things are often organised, each time with different themes, and a beautiful wijkpaleis where everyone is welcome, and that brings the neighbourhood closer together. There's also a neighbourhood newspaper that lists the activities at the wijkpaleis / the square / neighbourhood parties. So that everyone knows about them and feels welcome to take part. In this neighbourhood, they think of everyone and try to make everyone feel at home and comfortable in the community of the neighbourhood. Every morning the council cleans everything up and it's almost always tidy in the neighbourhood. There are 4 different trams, 2 bus lines and a metro no more than 5 minutes' walk from my house, so it's also well connected. All in all, it's the best neighbourhood for me to live in; I wouldn't actually want to leave, even though I'll have to soon because of family expansion. I really love this neighbourhood and the people.
