Auto-translated to English by AIA pleasant, easily accessible neighbourhood with many amenities, close to the centre. Great!
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's a good neighbourhood to live in with a large shopping centre a 5-minute walk away, two smaller ones on either side of the large shopping centre, and then the city centre is 5-6 minutes away by tram. There is a secondary school (Unic), a public primary school (Anne Frank School) and an international primary school in the area. There is also a sports club nearby where children can join for tennis, hockey, football, gymnastics, baseball, etc. There are bus stops everywhere and a tram runs through the neighbourhood, making it easily accessible. There are plenty of playgrounds, although they could do with a bit of sprucing up. It's a fairly quiet neighbourhood and I've never really had any trouble with people. There is little to no unrest in the area and there is also a police station close by. The streets can be dirty now and then, but there are always people from the neighbourhood who voluntarily keep them clean themselves. Sometimes the rubbish can sit by the bins a bit too long. There is greenery everywhere and there is a park nearby where you can enjoy a lovely walk in the evening. The only thing missing is a clear sense of community in the neighbourhood, but they are trying to create more togetherness with the neighbourhood drinks that are held, the community centre and the regular meetings.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's a neighbourhood with plenty of facilities; there's a primary school and 2 secondary schools nearby, a shopping centre, a park, a gym. It's also easily accessible and close to the city. There's a tram, at least 3 or 4 different buses. Surrounded by greenery. Trees and plants are planted everywhere, and they are maintained by some residents. Benches to sit on. Actually a nice neighbourhood all around. Only more could be done about community togetherness. You don't really know your neighbours and there are hardly any meetings or such. Additionally, it could be a bit cleaner in the neighbourhood. Sometimes it can also be quite noisy with the youngsters walking through the neighbourhood but not doing much else. Overall, quite a pleasant neighbourhood.
