The Schiebroek neighbourhood

Based on three reviews, one resident describes it as 'Ghetto Schiebroek', pointing to litter and pavement cycling as ongoing issues. Another notes that 'Schiebroek has deteriorated a lot in 5 years', while a third mentions 'lots of nuisance from loitering youths and mess in the canal'. That said, the area is popular with families, around a third of households have children, and the streets are lined with post-war housing.
