Another adds: "You are close to the city centre but still away from the hustle and bustle." Based on two reviews, the neighbourhood is appreciated for its calm and convenience. The area is also well connected, with [the Zwarte Water neighbourhood]( /buurt/zwarte-water-assen/ ) offering easy access to local shops and schools.
