Pijlsweerd-Zuid: safe, central, but lacking greenery
Residents give the neighbourhood a 7.4 out of 10. One says: "The neighbourhood is getting greener and more beautiful!... No matter when you go out on the street, it always feels safe." Another notes: "I always feel safe in this neighbourhood, perhaps because it's close to the police station. It's a 10-minute walk from the centre, which is great." A third adds: "Even though it's so close to the centre, I experience little nuisance." The main downside is a lack of green space, several residents mention missing a park. The area is densely populated, with mostly young adults and many single-person households. For more on the area, see neighbourhood Pijlsweerd-Zuid.
