Schorsmolen, a mixed urban neighbourhood

It's a young area: most residents are between 25 and 45, and two-thirds of households are single-person. The three reviews on give a mixed picture. One resident calls it a "junkenhol" and mentions drug addicts and litter, scoring it 3.75. Another says it's "safe and close to all shops" and gives it 7.63. A third, who has lived here six years, calls it a "quiet neighbourhood" with no unpleasant experiences, scoring it 6.0. So it's a neighbourhood with character, some love it, some find it rough.
