Zwaansmeer is a densely built area with mostly family homes. Based on three reviews, residents paint a mixed picture. One says: "The neighbourhood has deteriorated badly in the years we've lived here. They just cram everything in. Gardens with weeds, lots of rubbish in front and back gardens and on the street." Another notes: "It's a reasonably neat neighbourhood, but in the evening there are many groups of young people hanging around who are not from the area." A third adds: "In the 13 years we have lived here, we have seen the neighbourhood go from beautiful to run-down." Despite the criticism, the Zwaansmeer neighbourhood has a primary school and daycare just a couple of streets away.
For daily shopping, the nearest Albert Heijn is just around the corner, with Aldi and Vomar a five-minute walk. The closest primary school, Openbare Basisschool het Kompas, is on your doorstep, and Kindcentrum de Vlinder is a couple of streets away. The train station is a ten-minute walk, and a park or garden is just around the corner. The municipality of Beverwijk offers further amenities within easy reach.

The neighbourhood has deteriorated badly in the years we've lived here. They just cram everything in. Gardens with weeds, lots of rubbish in front and back gardens and on the street. No respect for each other at all. Still holding on but would love to leave. The housing association does very little. Only when you move out does the house get properly insulated with new floors. The ventilation system is NEVER cleaned. Draughty as hell here.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's a reasonably neat neighbourhood, but in the evening there are many groups of young people hanging around who are not from the area. Other than that, it's okay.
Auto-translated to English by AIIn the 13 years we have lived here, we have seen the neighbourhood go from beautiful to run-down. Rubbish bags or rags stuck on windows, front gardens used as storage for trailers, mess and weeds. Back gardens are used as dumping grounds. Luckily our row is still quite good. They cram everything in. Let them live in a flat if they can't keep their garden tidy. In the meantime, a few car fires and explosions near houses. Safety is hard to find. Everyone should keep their street and area clean and weed-free. It's a 30 km/h zone but people drive way too fast while there is a school and daycare nearby. Such a shame about what was once such a nice neighbourhood.
