The neighbourhood Blijdorp has a strong sense of community, though a third review notes it can feel individualistic.

Auto-translated to English by AIit's a nice neighbourhood, right next to Vroesepark! In my opinion, there's not much to do for young people, for that you have to go to the city centre.
