It's a good neighbourhood but a lot could also be better in terms of cleanliness, parking, safety.
Auto-translated to English by AII moved to this neighbourhood 15 years ago with two children aged 12 and 10 respectively. I invited the neighbours over to get acquainted, but it never went further than a Christmas card and saying hello to each other. I was busy with the kids, work, studies, etc. At the time, I didn't have much need for it either, and everyone did their own thing. Shops and restaurants within walking distance, as well as bus and train connections. The little river Krommerijn flows past my house. Lots of pleasure boats and joggers going back and forth to Amelisweerd. A small park nearby where I can enjoy walking. Primary schools close by and I feel safe. The house itself is fine, but could be better insulated and have a toilet upstairs. The neighbourhood could do more for each other by doing things together and each according to their abilities. Being able to help each other if needed, keeping an eye out. The lower part of the housing is much older, and above the lower houses there is an apartment. Here mainly live single people or families with young children. I would like to get to know each other and the question is: how do I do it?
