Auto-translated to English by AILots of trees, rustling leaves, a pleasant walk along the pond. A quick greeting, a chat with a neighbour. Quickly on the bike to pick up a forgotten item. Another familiar face in the shop. How's it going?
Auto-translated to English by AII really enjoy living here. It's within walking distance of Lidl and Aldi. I also like going to the city beach and doing my workouts at the calisthenics park near DOT. I feel very safe in the neighbourhood. There are some students living behind who can make noise until late in the evening, but I don't mind that. Otherwise, I live with many young working people in the apartment complex. All in all, very satisfied. You can definitely live here!!
Auto-translated to English by AIA fresh, easily accessible neighbourhood with some new-build homes. Everything is neat and tidy, at least that's my impression now that I've been living here for a month. As far as I know, there are few neighbourhood activities and associations. This was better organised in the Zeeheldenbuurt.
