The Rolduckerveld neighbourhood
Rolduckerveld has a mixed feel: it's a fairly urban area with a high density of addresses, yet nature is never far. The one resident review paints a stark picture: "The neighbourhood is deteriorating rapidly. Household waste is dumped. Children who are not admitted to any school hang around all day. Parents who swear at their children using foul language, polluted alleyways. Vermin. Cats left behind after moves. Music with bass turned up extremely loud. No respect for fellow residents or small children." On the positive side, the reviewer adds: "Glad that the children receive good education at a broad school that has everything. Also very happy that we can walk into nature like this." The neighbourhood has a mix of ages, with many single-person households and a fair share of families.
