Life in Tarwewijk
Residents give the neighbourhood an average score of 6.83 out of 10, based on five reviews. One resident says: "The neighbourhood is improving more and more each year. Thanks to the rent law, there were 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." Another resident notes: "Good, 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." A third adds: "you 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." The neighbourhood has about 12,330 inhabitants, and 52% of households are single-person households. For more details, see the Tarwewijk neighbourhood.
