The Tarwewijk neighbourhood
Tarwewijk is a neighbourhood in transition. One resident says: 'The neighbourhood is improving more and more each year. Thanks to the rent law, there were fewer slumlords and more and more families. It sometimes still has a bad reputation, but that is undeserved except for a few streets.' Another notes: 'Good, quiet, but the municipality could pay a bit more attention, like containers with an awful lot of mess.' A third adds: 'You can do all sorts of things there, shop and walk your dog. It can be busy at night but during the day it's usually quiet.' Based on five reviews, the neighbourhood scores a 6.83 out of 10. Most homes are pre-war (79%), and the area is densely populated with a mix of singles and families.
