How residents experience their neighbourhood
Every day people are threatened with nasty things but otherwise, good shops etc. The safety is fine but as soon as you enter Middenhoven you have to watch out for people.

Auto-translated to English by AIA lot of nuisance from the caravan camp and the house is too remote to be able to walk safely in the dark. Public transport doesn't come there and there are often strange characters on the road to the woods. Creepy neighbourhood

Auto-translated to English by AISometimes everything is a bit far but the most important shops are nearby
Auto-translated to English by AIThe neighbourhood has a supermarket, bakery, cheese shop, hairdresser, a gym and more nearby. The residents greet each other and are very friendly. I live next to a fairly busy street, so the green spaces could be better, but with a little effort, the Amsterdamse Bos is even within walking distance.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's quiet enough for children to run around the streets but close to facilities to look up for a fun activity
