Very antisocial next to me.
Auto-translated to English by AIThe neighbourhood is very quiet and family-friendly, there is also a school nearby and there are many friendly neighbours.
Auto-translated to English by AIBeautiful neighbourhood, lots of greenery, much too fast driving by all traffic, the maximum speed is only 30 km/h and is hugely exceeded in some places. Behind houses, 3 cars regularly come a few times a week and according to residents, drugs are traded, judging by the packaging left behind. Children play there, but the police do not check despite various reports and video footage that have been offered to the police.
Auto-translated to English by AIThe neighbourhood looks good with various beautiful and nice houses. The number of playing children is increasing, but for them it is very unsafe because the through road Viergang, where a maximum speed of 30 km/h applies, is used as a racetrack by cars, trucks and mopeds. Sometimes there is an electronic speed display, where very often speeds that the user considers normal, such as 60 to even 90 km per hour, are achieved. I have observed this myself when I monitored the speed registration for a while, but no results of the registration findings ever come out. I have often complained about this, but to no avail. My preference is therefore to put many more stickers and signs along and on the road and more higher speed bumps. Also on various remote parking lots behind residential blocks, we have various cars gathering in the evening hours between 10:00 PM and 12:00 AM on Tuesdays and Fridays, and we see on camera that multiple people get into one car and later disappear in all directions, and this happens every week. We have reported this to the police, but as far as we know, nothing has ever been checked about what the youth are up to there. We as a neighbourhood find this worrying. All in all, we hope that the situation on the Viergang improves and that speed-limiting actions are taken, as well as checking what the youngsters are up to on the parking lots.
Auto-translated to English by AIFairly good experience. There are primary schools and a secondary school. This is very convenient if you are going to live here with a family. I do notice that more and more nature is disappearing, which is a shame. Also, in some places there is a lot of rubbish on the streets. The village is very convenient and is easily accessible by bus from most places. Every Thursday there is a market in the village with delicious food. During holidays there are also fun things to find in the village, such as an ice rink at Christmas and a flea market on King's Day. On King's Day there is also always a fair, which does get more expensive every year.

Auto-translated to English by AIEasy to do your shopping and you can also go for a good walk. The people who live there are also very sociable and if you want something to eat or drink, you can do so in the many restaurants or cafés.
Auto-translated to English by AIPublic transport is getting worse and worse. There's always dog poop on the dyke and loads of people walking, so you often can't cycle at full speed. In the street, people live who tinker with mopeds. Guess what noise that makes. The church clock chimes every hour, and if you're unlucky and the hands are turned by a storm, then also at night. There's not really a patch of forest if you have a dog yourself. Are there good points? Yes, primary school around the corner, easily accessible by car (but then you MUST have one). Public transport to Utrecht and Bijlmer from Mijdrecht centre both exactly 1 hour by bus and train. Woerden less than an hour.
