How residents experience their district
I've been living here for almost 12 years now and haven't experienced much commotion, just a few minor incidents and those usually happened a few streets away from my street. It's safe and wonderfully quiet here with a fair amount of greenery, though many pavements could do with some attention.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's a close neighbourhood where everyone is there for each other. A neighbourhood on the edge of the city where not many amenities are super far to get to.
Auto-translated to English by AINot much experience with the neighbourhood yet because I only recently moved in
Auto-translated to English by AINice to live in.
Auto-translated to English by AII think there could be a bit more greenery and the neighbourhood could be safer
Auto-translated to English by AIA cosy and friendly neighbourhood, I always feel safe both at night and during the day. A nice neighbourhood for starting families. The centre of Groningen is not too far away..
Auto-translated to English by AIBeautiful, quiet, safe, cosy, small suburb of the beautiful city of Groningen. All low-rise buildings, no heavy traffic, lots of greenery, and playgrounds for the children. And a petting zoo. You can cycle into the city in no time. On our street, there is an annual neighbourhood barbecue. We organise it ourselves. It's always very cosy. Disadvantages: there is no shop, you have to go to Oosterhogebrug, where the primary school is as well. (We don't see this as a disadvantage) There is a dental practice and a beauty salon.
Auto-translated to English by AII've been living in this neighbourhood for 7 months. It's very quiet, green and nice. I have nice neighbours. I think it's a very nice neighbourhood with easy access to the city centre. It has nearby supermarkets. A downside of the neighbourhood is that bus number 6 sometimes doesn't run or is late, and this has caused me problems a few times. It would be good if the bus timetable doesn't change and if it is cancelled, this is communicated well and early.

How residents experience their municipality
Ik woon hier nu, met ups en downs qua lawaai/herrie, nu 12,5 jaar. Altijd gekozen om hier toch te blijven, gezien de fijne buren en nette straat, met de mooie Hamburgervijver om de hoek waar ik graag eens zit te relaxen. Alle voorzieningen vlakbij en bushalte aan de kade, ideaal als je vaak en graag reist :). Ik voel me hier onderhand erg veilig, in al die tijd alleen eens een brand geweest maar verder kun je hier rustig je leventje leven, veelal hoog opgeleide buren, wat prettig is in het contact. Ik ben blij dat ik hier nog steeds woon.
Auto-translated to English by AIMooie huizen, goede voorzieningen, rustig, zo in de stad. toppp
Auto-translated to English by AIPeople are friendly, I enjoy living here.
Auto-translated to English by AIThere is always something to do. There are supermarkets and plenty of other shops, cafeterias, fresh bread from the bakery. Market once a week, a nice park with ponds for fishing.
Auto-translated to English by AIFine, it's safe to cycle home in the evening but it's not super either. And there is a huge piece of nature
Auto-translated to English by AIActually, 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 AIEverything in the neighbourhood: shops, sports facilities, schools, community centres. So something for everyone.
Auto-translated to English by AIThere is a shopping centre opposite here so I always have something to see and never get bored
