How residents experience their district
Very bad, impoverished neighbourhood, junkies, antisocial people who throw their rubbish on the street and in communal gardens instead of in the bins, foreigners from Poland, Turkey, Africa, etc. and more. Send all these people back where they came from. This neighbourhood is getting worse and worse. There are also stolen bikes here. Few parking spaces, but too many trees on the street. I don't dare walk the streets in the evening. Enforcement officers should actually check every day/evening.

How residents experience their municipality
It's so clean and Kessler Park is also so relaxing, I never want to move again.
Auto-translated to English by AII live there pleasantly and quietly
Auto-translated to English by AII am very happy with where I live. Easily accessible and shops nearby. But it is very safe here. I see too often messages that someone has been stabbed or beaten up.

Auto-translated to English by AII have lived here for over 9 years, and I like the neighbourhood. It could be better, of course, because there are many "smart alecks" who cut across the Generaal Spoorlaan, and who fly through the neighbourhood like a cannonball. Other than that, it's okay, and I'm satisfied here.
