The Binckhorst as it is today
The Binckhorst is an industrial estate with a few houses, and residents are honest about its rough edges. One resident says: "It's a neighbourhood with virtually no amenities. Recently a very small Albert Heijn opened, but you can hardly buy anything there." Another adds: "No greenery in the Binckhorst, no supermarkets in the neighbourhood. Quite dangerous in the evening. And there is a lot of litter." Based on two reviews, the average score is 4.19 out of 5. The area is easily accessible by bike and car, though a busy road runs through it. There is little sense of community, as many businesses dominate. For more on the area, see the Binckhorst.
