The neighbourhood is improving more and more each year. Thanks to the rent law, there are fewer slumlords and more and more families. It sometimes still has a bad reputation, but that is undeserved except for a few streets. The location is fantastic, metro, Zuidplein, city centre a quarter of an hour by bike. Zuiderpark is also around the corner and soon the Nelson Mandela park.
Auto-translated to English by AIGood, quiet, but the municipality could pay a bit more attention, like containers with an awful lot of mess. Green areas could certainly be better, and clean up the containers.
Auto-translated to English by AIyou can do all sorts of things there, shop and walk your dog. it can be busy at night but during the day it's usually quiet. i'm happy to live here. pollution is quite a problem, especially around overflowing bins where seagulls get at them. it would be nice if the council took more account of that.

Auto-translated to English by AIDe Tarwewijk is a nice neighbourhood where people from all backgrounds live together. As a woman, I feel reasonably safe there and I love trying restaurants with food from different countries. The downside is the dirt. There is a lot of litter and bins are often overflowing.
