There 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 AIDon't feel safe. Have been hit by fast bikes several times. In Diamandpark. Vinkhuizen. As a result, my dog now has a limp. When I tell them they should walk there, I get called whore slut and they even spit on you. They are all foreigners, sorry. The neighbourhood is a rubbish dump. They don't give a damn about us. This has to stop.
Auto-translated to English by AIWhen I moved here with my family 14 years ago, I never knew this would become my favourite neighbourhood. I immediately made friends and I enjoy spending time outside. Every summer, activities are organised in our block to maintain and strengthen our bonds. I can say that everyone who knows each other here is cool with one another.
Auto-translated to English by AIWe live in a very nice neighbourhood where the children always play nicely together. All of us neighbours always have cosy barbecues and parties.
