It doesn't have a very good reputation, which is partly justified but partly not so bad. Yes, every now and then you hear an explosion, which certainly isn't pleasant, but when you walk through the neighbourhood there's also a lot of diversity and I almost never feel unsafe." Another adds: "A good experience I've lived here for a long time sometimes a bit dirty with rubbish on the street but overall quite positive." The district has about 5,665 residents, and 25% of the homes are owner-occupied. For more on the area, see the Overtoomse Veld-Noord neighbourhood.
