The Russische buurt neighbourhood
The Russische buurt is a densely built urban area with a mix of residents. Based on two reviews, opinions are mixed. 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 notes: "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 has a high address density and a large share of single-person households. For more context, see the Russische buurt neighbourhood.
