One resident says: "There is a shopping centre opposite here so I always have something to see and never get bored." Another describes it as "Beautiful neighbourhood close to the city." A third is more neutral: "No cohesion." The area has a high proportion of flats, and most homes were built between 1945 and 1970. For more context, see the Selwerd neighbourhood.

For primary education, De Wegwijzer is a couple of streets away, while secondary schools like Gomarus College Magnolia and Kamerlingh Onnes are within a ten-minute walk.

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.
