How residents experience their municipality
Little greenery, often a lot of rubbish. But there are good small businesses and supermarkets in the neighbourhood.
Auto-translated to English by AII think it's a cosy and nice neighbourhood where I feel very safe.
Auto-translated to English by AIThe neighbourhood is safe, social and is growing towards a better environment and in terms of facilities.
Auto-translated to English by AIQuite a lot of Poles
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's a great neighbourhood, with many growing children and families, unfortunately the education in Goverwelle is not so good and the good primary schools are far away.
Auto-translated to English by AIMany trees cut down Kazerne Why ???? make the rest a bit cosy yourself RINUS
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's a shame that the people in the Jozefhof hardly connect with each other; the owner-occupied apartments do, but the rental apartments have little interaction with each other. That might also be because the young people all work. But even when a neighbourhood party is organised, I don't see them either; making connections is not a thing, not even with the joy and sorrow fund. And what I also miss in this neighbourhood is a community centre; quite a lot of elderly people live here, which is a pity. And there are also people in this neighbourhood who are alone and lonely. Accessibility is good, safety could always be better. In the apartment complex, we sometimes have unwanted guests. Facilities are good; shops around the corner, GP and station are around the corner. Daily amenities are available.
