Holtenbroek II is a neighbourhood of contrasts. One resident who has lived here for 37 years says they 'will always live there with great pleasure'. Another, with nearly a decade in the area, calls it a 'multicultural neighbourhood' that is 'very green, with lots of trees and small woods for lovely walks'. They also note recent renovations to the flats as 'a huge improvement'. However, the same resident points out problems with litter, safety and noise: 'rubbish bags thrown down from the flats, huge piles of waste by the containers', and 'serious violent incidents like shootings and stabbings happen regularly'. A third resident, a parent of two young children, describes it as a 'warm neighbourhood, cosy neighbourhood' but misses a lift. Based on three reviews, the neighbourhood scores a 7.75 out of 10. The area is densely populated with mostly flats, and many households are single-person. For more detail, see the Holtenbroek II neighbourhood.

I've been living in Holtenbroek for almost 10 years now. It's very green here, with lots of trees and small woods for lovely walks. It's also good for young people: a Johan Cruyff court for kicking a ball around, a large grass field for other games, and even a slide with other play equipment for the little ones. The flats in Holtenbroek have recently been renovated, which is a huge improvement! Only the hygiene in and around the flats and the bushes along the roads is downright poor. Rubbish bags thrown down from the flats, huge piles of waste by the containers, and unfortunately also a lot of litter in the bushes. Safety in this neighbourhood is downright poor; serious violent incidents like shootings and stabbings happen regularly. Some flat residents also regularly cause nuisance by playing loud music for hours, not keeping their dog on a lead, and sitting outside the front door, which can be intimidating. However, despite all the negative things, it has improved enormously compared to how it was before (yes, it could be worse, haha). We try to keep the flat and the neighbourhood clean by picking up litter or mopping the lift floor. Because it's a multicultural society here in Holtenbroek, you can regularly enjoy beautiful music bands (African) performing on the grass field next to the Johan Cruyff court. Or when you're sitting on the balcony enjoying the sun and a delicious smell reaches your nose because someone is cooking with wonderful foreign herbs somewhere in the flat. Conclusion: a lot of points for improvement for Holtenbroek, but a big step forward from how it was. I am satisfied.
