Centrum: a mixed, lived-in neighbourhood
Centrum is a neighbourhood with a real mix of characters, and the three resident reviews reflect that. One resident calls it "Good" and gives it a perfect score, while another describes it as "Boring and quiet," noting the presence of orthodox Christians and loitering youths. A third, older resident shares a long struggle with keeping a shared stairwell clean, a frustration that has built up over 41 years. Based on these three reviews, the average score is 7.88 out of 10, so opinions vary. The area is home to a mix of households, with a large share of singles and a good number of families with children. The municipality of Ridderkerk covers the wider area around this neighbourhood.
