It's a young area, nearly half the population is between 25 and 45, and most households are single people. Two residents reviewed the neighbourhood. One calls it a "Cosy, relatively quiet inner-city neighbourhood" and says: "The neighbours are involved and there for each other. There is always something to do, but usually it's also quiet on the street." The other is less positive: "It's getting busier and noisier in the city centre where I live. A lot of nuisance from pub-goers, especially at the weekend." The neighbourhood Binnenstad-Noord clearly has two faces, charming and chaotic.

The neighbours are involved and there for each other. There is always something to do, but usually it's also quiet on the street. It remains the city centre, so on nights out or during events it can be a bit noisy, but that, in my opinion, adds charm to the neighbourhood. The streets look incredibly beautiful and it's a very green part of the city.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's getting busier and noisier in the city centre where I live. A lot of nuisance from pub-goers, especially at the weekend. People who don't live here park their cars and bikes in the street. Lots of delivery vans and other traffic that drive into and park on the street. Lots of beeping from cars when they have to reverse back out. It's a dead-end narrow street. I'm seriously considering moving. Out of the city centre at any rate. The neighbours themselves I have little to no trouble with.

It's a trade-off between city buzz and quiet living. The streets are beautiful and green, but the centre's events and nightlife can be disruptive.
