Experiences from Laakhaven-Oost
How residents experience their neighbourhood
The access is great because of the closeness to the station. The architecture is a bit disorganised and sometimes it does get a bit dirty and unhygienic; the trash gets everywhere around the bins and is not picked up frequently enough, as I have seen the same thing stay in the same place for over 9 days. But the community is diverse and at least in my area it's pretty safe, even late at night. There are a lot of students and immigrants and as an international student I feel very welcomed. My building is a bit messy but there is no serious issue like pests or anything, and for the rent it’s pretty good.

Auto-translated to English by AIIt's a decent neighbourhood with plenty of parks and other amenities. However, there are quite a few problems in the area, such as nuisance and dangerous people who harass you. Additionally, it's often dirty because rubbish isn't collected often enough. Despite all this, I'm quite satisfied with living in this neighbourhood.
