This is a dense, urban neighbourhood with a mix of old and new housing. The area has a young population, many people in their 20s to 40s, and a high proportion of single-person households. Based on one review, a resident says: "The neighbourhood is chaos and the people are racist and angry. My experience used to be very good. It was fun and cosy. Now there are some people living there who make it a lot less cosy and cause unjustified nuisance. You are wrongly accused and the police are called immediately. Personally, I don't think it's a safe neighbourhood, cars also drive very fast and there are many children who are careless with scooters or fatbikes." That's a single view, but it gives a flavour of the tensions some feel. For more context, see the Schepenbuurt, Cartesiusweg e.o. neighbourhood.
For daily shopping, Albert Heijn is just around the corner, and PLUS is a five-minute walk. There are several primary schools within walking distance: Basisschool Jules Verne is a couple of streets away, and Van Asch van Wijckschool is a five-minute walk.
