How residents experience their district
It's a nice neighbourhood to live in. I feel safe and most people are friendly. However, we do think the greenery is really in need of renewal, and the pavements and roads also give a somewhat outdated and neglected impression. The neighbourhood could do with a makeover and more colour. The playground in the Dassenkuil has just been newly laid out, but it's really only for a certain age group. The older children have nothing. Too bad!
Auto-translated to English by AIThere are very few activities to do in my neighbourhood. By green I mean there isn't much nature.
Auto-translated to English by AILots of amenities and plenty of green spaces. Also around the area.
Auto-translated to English by AII lived here as a child, a bit further down from where I live now, and I know this neighbourhood like the back of my hand. I find it reasonably quiet, because it's a care flat where I've been living for 13 months now. I feel safe, as long as I don't have to go out in the evening. You have everything nearby: supermarkets, drugstores, GP, dentist. Only the pharmacy is a bit further away. I feel at ease and quite safe in the neighbourhood, and I'm glad I got this flat for medical reasons. In the evening it's less safe because of drug dealers who sometimes hang around the car park, but that hasn't disturbed my living pleasure so far. And because I lived a bit further down this street as a child, I feel at home in this neighbourhood, and it brings back fond memories when I walk or ride my mobility scooter through the area.
Auto-translated to English by AII really enjoy living here. Residents treat each other with respect and are never too busy to help one another. I feel very much at home.

Auto-translated to English by AII've been living in Sittard-Geleen for just over half a year. I'm originally from Hoensbroek/Heerlen, and although that's not the tidiest place, I do feel safe there. At Zuidhof there are ALWAYS homeless people, junkies, alcoholics and many foreigners. Drugs and crime are too prevalent here in my opinion. I also find it totally unpleasant to live here without a driving licence or other means of transport. Every flat has rubbish that the municipality barely cleans up or does nothing about. Noise nuisance is probably one of the things that bothers me most here... think extremely loud music on a weekday at half past one in the morning... this happens daily and also at weekends. Nothing is done about it despite the complaints... In short, I think it's a really shitty place to live!!!

Auto-translated to English by AIThere is little negative to say about Einighausen. People interact well and kindly with each other. You can reach Einighausen easily from 3 sides. It is clean, although I would suggest a few more rubbish bins for that last bit of cleanliness. It is a rural municipality, hence lots of greenery. Sufficient traffic measures have been taken to make it safe. I myself would create a few more resting spots (benches) around the village.
Auto-translated to English by AICosy, quiet, only few bins, which means there is a lot of litter in some places, and few benches where you can sit to rest or enjoy nature.
Auto-translated to English by AIHere in our neighbourhood we are not all neighbourly, having coffee at each other's or visiting, but we look out for each other well, there is always someone who helps where needed.
