The Hoek neighbourhood
Hoek is a compact, lively neighbourhood with a real mix of people. One resident describes it as "Lively, but cosy," noting that "lots of students and elderly people" live here, creating an in-between community. The same resident points out that the waste disposal site is "always dirty and stinks," and sometimes does not work at all. Based on this single review, the area scores 7.5 out of 10. The figures back up the impression of a young, transient population: most households are single people, and the largest age groups are 15 to 25 and 25 to 45. It is a neighbourhood with a strong student presence, which shapes the feel of the streets. For more context, you can look at the Hoek neighbourhood.
