A neighbourhood for the better class. We've now lived here for over 30 years and see the area changing into a real yuppie neighbourhood. Complete with cargo bikes and conversations that contain more English words than Dutch." Another adds: "I think the neighbourhood is fine.

Yes, it's in line with the market. The average rent in Kleverpark-noord is €2,180, and the median is €2,050. At 79 m², the price per m² is about €25.32, which is slightly above the neighbourhood average of €22.35 per m², but the apartment is new (built in 2023) and has an A energy label, so the higher efficiency offsets the cost.

How residents experience their neighbourhood
Positive. Through urban renewal we moved from a working-class neighbourhood where we lived very cosily to the Kleverpark. A neighbourhood for the better class. We've now lived here for over 30 years and see the area changing into a real yuppie neighbourhood. Complete with cargo bikes and conversations that contain more English words than Dutch.
Auto-translated to English by AII think the neighbourhood is fine. I think it's positive that you can separate waste nearby, there are supermarkets close by and you're a 15-minute walk from the station. Some downsides are that there is very little parking space and the streets are narrow, making parking difficult and you have to stop for oncoming traffic. Also, the shops closing at 8, sometimes 9 o'clock, I find a bit too early. I don't really have any complaints about the area, this is my first home away from my parents, and I'm quite happy with the setting.

How residents experience their municipality
very nice and beautiful neighbourhood.
Auto-translated to English by AII've lived here for almost 30 years. It used to be pleasant: clean, good contact with neighbours, etc. But due to the steady influx of Muslims, the neighbourhood is going downhill. Lots of litter lying around, misuse of rubbish bins (throwing all sorts next to them), not being open to contact, their children breaking things... in short: they have no connection with the neighbourhood and its residents. It creates an unpleasant atmosphere..

Auto-translated to English by AISad people have no life, they ruin others' lives
Auto-translated to English by AIBy lively I mean that there are many hip young people living here and there are many amenities and infrastructure in the neighbourhood, but it is anonymous because people don't really know each other. You live there and know your neighbours, but you don't really know your neighbours' neighbours. Many people move often.

Auto-translated to English by AIIt's a shame that you see more and more rubbish lying around everywhere and more and more things are being demolished.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt is outdated, rubbish on the streets, flats don't look very nice
