Auto-translated to English by AIIt's getting worse and worse here. I've been living here for 6 years now, but more foreigners are moving in. Two weeks ago, there was a shooting less than 25 metres from the apartment block. Sad.
Auto-translated to English by AISo many foreigners live here and there are so many shootings in this neighbourhood, my child cannot walk around safely, that's why Selwerd looks like a little Turkey.

Selwerd is a very urban area with a high density of addresses. It has a young population, about a third are between 15 and 25, and a mix of students and families. Residents appreciate the proximity to the city centre and the lively atmosphere, though some note a lack of cohesion. The shopping centre opposite the flat adds convenience.
The nearest train station is 1 km away, which is about a ten-minute walk. This makes it easy to reach the city centre or other destinations without a car.
A Lidl is just around the corner (365 m), and an Albert Heijn is a couple of streets away (470 m). A PLUS supermarket is also within walking distance (686 m). So daily groceries are very convenient.
Primary school De Wegwijzer is about a five-minute walk away, and De Pendinghe is a bit further. For secondary education, Gomarus College Magnolia and Kamerlingh Onnes (vmbo-tl, havo, vwo) are both within a ten-minute walk.
The apartment has energy label D. This is average for homes built in the 1960s, it means heating costs will be moderate but not as low as with a modern A-label home. You can expect reasonable energy bills, but improvements like better insulation could reduce them.
