The neighbours are friendly and everything is within easy cycling distance." Another is less positive: "People live past each other. Shit everywhere, owners don't clean up anything. Playgrounds nothing." So it's a neighbourhood with character, but not without its frustrations. This is the neighbourhood Ministersbuurt-Oost.

I've lived here for 20 years and have always enjoyed it. The neighbours are friendly and everything is within easy cycling distance. Unfortunately, there is little housing available here; I want to move out with my boyfriend (we live with my parents) but you can't get a house here, unfortunately.

Cyclists ride very fast, young people from the higher school ride three or four abreast, cheeky. More playgrounds for kids, more green in the neighbourhood, and that dog owners clean up their dog's shit‼️ And a smile costs nothing
