Auto-translated to English by AIOud IJsselmonde is a green neighbourhood with many elderly residents. People are friendly and helpful. It's not really safe here, for example Park de Twee Heuvelen is not lit at all and many strange people walk around. There is a lot of litter in the area and municipal bins are rarely cleaned, which means quite a lot of pests are roaming around.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt can best be described as multicultural, where most people seem to keep to themselves. If you strike up a conversation, they are surprised. The sense of community could be much better, but they are working hard on that. I quite enjoy it here. In terms of safety, I often see police patrolling, two shopping centres within walking distance, bus and tram right outside. Hygiene leaves something to be desired, especially rubbish dumped on the street. The greenery is left wild, supposedly for the insects, but it's just pure cost-cutting on green maintenance.
