Rolduckerveld
Rolduckerveld is a neighbourhood with a mix of ages, where about a quarter of residents are over 65 and a similar share are under 45. Households here are often single people, making up nearly half of the total, and the average household size is small. One resident who reviewed the area gave it a 6 out of 10, saying: "The neighbourhood is deteriorating rapidly. Household waste is dumped. Children who are not admitted to any school hang around all day." They also noted positives: "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." It is a mixed picture, with both frustrations and appreciation for the local schools and green surroundings. This is based on a single review, so it reflects one person's experience rather than a broad consensus. For more context, you can read about the Rolduckerveld neighbourhood.
