The Cronestein neighbourhood
Cronestein is a varied area, as one resident puts it: "My neighbourhood is very varied in housing. You can find social housing and owner-occupied homes here. In the middle of the neighbourhood there is an industrial estate. To the east, high-rise buildings with apartments and student flats. To the north-west, there are mainly terraced houses." The same resident adds that the neighbourhood is "located on Lammeschansweg and almost directly on the motorway, so it is easily accessible." With a single review, this is a personal view rather than a broad consensus, but it does paint a picture of a mixed, practical area. The CBS figures show a young population, with many single-person households and a high proportion of residents aged 25 to 45. For more detail, have a look at the Cronestein neighbourhood.
