One resident says: "Have lived here since 1992, still think it's a beautiful neighbourhood, but social contacts are decreasing." Another notes: "Lovely neighbourhood to live in, old part of the city. Cleaning and greenery leave something to be desired." The area is densely populated, 5,664 addresses per km², and mostly consists of single-person households. For more on the area, see neighbourhood Burgwal.
For your morning bread, Jumbo is just around the corner, and Vomar and Dekamarkt are a couple of streets away. The Veronica Jenaplanschool is on your doorstep, and the Stedelijk Gymnasium Haarlem is a five-minute walk. The municipality Haarlem keeps the city running, with a GP and a park both within a ten-minute walk.
