One resident sums it up: "Many cultures together, good people get along well here." The only downside they mention is parking and some nuisance from youngsters. The neighbourhood Rubroek is very strongly urban, with over 8,000 addresses per km², and most homes are flats. It's a neighbourhood where life happens on the street.
Your daily routine here is compact. For bread and groceries, Albert Heijn and Jumbo are both just around the corner, and Dirk is a couple of streets away.
