Life in Stadscentrum
Stadscentrum is a compact neighbourhood with about 2,320 residents, and it's a mix of older and newer buildings, with a large share of homes built after 2010. Residents across the municipality of Nieuwegein give their living environment an average score of 7.11, based on 18 reviews. One resident says: "I think it's a nice living environment. It's just a shame that only high-rise flats are being built. And that they are unaffordable for first-time buyers." Another adds: "We will have been living here with pleasure for 40 years next year. So that says something. Only parking is sometimes a problem. Otherwise, most amenities in the neighbourhood." A third notes: "Sometimes we have trouble with the youngsters on fatbikes, they ride everywhere and way too fast. But otherwise it's a nice neighbourhood." These are municipality-level views, so they reflect the wider town rather than this specific street.
