The Russische buurt
Based on two reviews, the neighbourhood Russische buurt gets a mixed score of 5.69 out of 10. One resident says: "This neighbourhood is deteriorating; people are increasingly less willing to keep their own street clean. And from the municipality you can expect absolutely nothing." Another adds: "It's not really safe in the neighbourhood in the evenings. When there has been a market, it often takes another day before it's cleaned up." The area is densely built with 3,467 addresses per km², and most homes are flats (66%).
