Welgelegen: a mixed neighbourhood
Welgelegen is a neighbourhood of contrasts, with stately houses alongside smaller workers' cottages. One resident describes it as a "Cosy neighbourhood": "Atmospheric neighbourhood with nice neighbours. Houses with a stately character interspersed with smaller workers' cottages. You can feel the history, you can walk straight into the city centre." Another resident, however, calls it "Restless": "It's fine to live here, as long as you stay in your own house. There are huge drug problems in the neighbourhood and cars speed by. So cats can't safely go outside either." Based on just one review, the picture is mixed. The neighbourhood is densely populated, with many single-person households. For more context, see the Welgelegen neighbourhood.

Experiences from Oud-Oost
How residents experience their district
You can sum it up as follows: > My experience with the Bloemenbuurt is very negative. In two consecutive situations, we had neighbours who caused a lot of nuisance. There were concerns about drug activities, the safety of children, and serious incidents in the neighbourhood, including a car explosion. As a result, I don't feel safe here and I wouldn't choose to live in this neighbourhood myself. The housing is reasonable, but in my opinion, the houses on Azaleastraat are in need of a thorough renovation. Additionally, there are few to no amenities in the immediate vicinity, which does not improve the liveability of the neighbourhood. Based on my personal experiences, I would therefore not recommend the Bloemenbuurt as a place to live.

Auto-translated to English by AIAfter living in this neighbourhood for many years, a lot has changed in the meantime; many neighbours cause division among the residents, and they just do whatever they can't help doing. It must be the times, but it used to be nice living here.
Auto-translated to English by AIWe have little contact with the neighbours and other residents. Sometimes you do see things that don't belong in the neighbourhood.
Auto-translated to English by AIThis neighbourhood is praised everywhere, but the truth is less beautiful. People often cluster together to badmouth other neighbours. I've also heard that further down the street there's a serious neighbour dispute; apparently a middle-aged woman regularly bullies her surrounding neighbours and also causes damage to other neighbours' property. So living here isn't all that great after all. Klaas.
Auto-translated to English by AIPublic transport is frequent and plentiful here, so you can get around easily. The neighbourhood has a lot of litter and it also gets thrown into gardens. Also a lot of trouble with junkies.
Auto-translated to English by AIAlthough there are occasionally some vagrants wandering around the neighbourhood or drunk men making it a bit unsafe, it is otherwise a very nice neighbourhood. Everything is within walking or cycling distance and there are plenty of supermarkets, gyms and schools nearby. There's also a nice bakery at the end of the street. It's very pleasant living here. It's also clean, no litter on the streets and rubbish is collected often. There's a forest nearby but it's unsafe in the evening.

Auto-translated to English by AIEveryone keeps to themselves but it's a calm and peaceful neighbourhood
Auto-translated to English by AIWe have lived in Weidum since 1972. A bullseye, we can say. Our neighbourhood, Sânpaad, is fantastic. Young and old join in when something is organised. Many of our own young people stay living here. An enormous amount is organised, namely: kaatsen, cards, billiards (4 tables), folk dancing, badminton, fair, Christmas ball, 55+ party, etc. etc. It is a great pity that no building is allowed. We hope to be able to stay here for years to come. Weidum "boppe".
