Actually, everything is just fine. There are several eateries in the neighbourhood, supermarkets are close by, bus stops, you can park your bike easily, and with the city beach there is also a beautiful and well-known green area.
Auto-translated to English by AIReally great! All amenities are within walking distance, including a small park. You're in the city centre in no time. Nothing to complain about really
Auto-translated to English by AIThe neighbourhood is cosy and quiet. The park is easily accessible and the people in the area are friendly, but there is often litter on the streets, which is a shame.
Auto-translated to English by AIEverything is easily accessible. It's a cosy, green and pleasant neighbourhood
Auto-translated to English by AIIn our neighbourhood, everyone knows each other a bit
Auto-translated to English by AIAccessibility by bike is great because it's very close to the city centre, but less so by car due to the crowds and many one-way streets. There are mainly buildings, so there isn't much greenery, but at the Nieuwe Kerkhof there's a nice little park with enough green; also, the neighbourhood borders the Noorderplantsoen, the largest park in the city. Hygiene leaves something to be desired; occasionally I see vomit from students or dog poop on the street. Safety also leaves something to be desired; there are quite a few junkies and homeless people on the street. As a man, I don't feel unsafe, but I can imagine women do. Also, bikes are often stolen, etc. The community is fine, not close-knit or anything, but diverse: many students, but also elderly people and couples. I occasionally have noise nuisance from students. Housing is very good in this neighbourhood: beautiful houses that represent the old centre well, combined with nice new-build apartment complexes. As for education, there's something for everyone within a 10-minute bike ride, from primary schools to the Zernike Campus. Finally, all the amenities I need are within walking or cycling distance.
