Experiences from Emmerhout
How residents experience their neighbourhood
Nice cosy neighbourhood, everyone welcome and not unfriendly
Auto-translated to English by AIa very good neighbourhood
Auto-translated to English by AIThe neighbourhood is generally quiet, with a drug user here and there, but you get that everywhere. There is plenty of green, shops within walking distance, and the city centre is easily reachable by bus or bike. They've also thought about the children, which is always nice, and we are surrounded by forest, so if you enjoy a walk or have dogs, you can easily go into the woods – what more could you want? Downside: the housing association doesn't consider what kind of people they place. For example, I have a neighbour next to me who causes enormous nuisance, a heavy hard drug addict, spent 13 years in prison, and a TBS patient or ex-TBS patient. The man is 53, has never lived on his own, and is just thrown in without supervision, which is obviously asking for trouble. I've lived next to him for 19 months now, don't get a wink of sleep at night because he's active then, and the housing association says they don't know what to do with him, and the police in Emmen don't even come because, in our opinion, they're simply afraid of him. This is the only downside, but it's probably a national issue, as you see on TV that organisations, housing associations, and the police work at cross purposes, and as a result, help often comes too late. Other than that, I really enjoy living here.

Experiences from Emmen
How residents experience their municipality
There's nothing to do. Everything is super expensive in the shops. There's a doctor, pharmacy and bakery. But there's nothing for teenagers to do. Only the spot (cafe), football field, cafe. No activities or workshops for 18 years and older. The street is well lit but behind our house there's an alley and you can't see anything at all. There are a lot of drunk people. There are no neighbourhood parties. Neighbours make a lot of noise at 3am.
Auto-translated to English by AIWonderfully enjoyable place to live
Auto-translated to English by AIGood neighbours, mostly young people with children, also 2 schools, small neighbourhood shop, easily accessible doctor's practice and pharmacy. This is Zwartemeer where I and my husband live. I also live conveniently close to work within walking distance of the clients.
Auto-translated to English by AINice cosy neighbourhood, everyone welcome and not unfriendly
Auto-translated to English by AILook, it could be a lot better, but I still have to say it's a great neighbourhood. Every city has its less pleasant spots where you don't want to walk alone. In terms of schools, it's very well organised for every level and age – it's just good here! Many schools to choose from. Also for further education, it's very good here! Furthermore, the shops are excellent!
Auto-translated to English by AIWe are friendly neighbours
Auto-translated to English by AIa very good neighbourhood
Auto-translated to English by AII'm not much of a neighbourhood person. Usually the neighbours are young people and we are already at a certain age. Good accessibility by car, safe for children, really a lot of green space, the nearest piece of land
