How residents experience their district
The neighbourhood exists. Not much happens, it lacks vibrancy. The festivities of yesteryear are no more. However, it is still closer-knit than most neighbourhoods. Additionally, the area is flooded with work vans and parking has become abysmal since the permit zone was expanded to our neighbourhood. Some trees have been planted, but much more greenery could and should be added to the existing planters, bay windows, and such. Furthermore, the neighbourhood is rather drab, which happens quickly when the houses are literally painted grey. There is also a lot of illegal dumping. There is always some rubbish lying around somewhere. The bus routes in the area, if they even run nearby, are not great. They rarely go where you want to go. Postboxes are also disappearing, and even polling stations are hard to find.
Auto-translated to English by AIThe people are sociable and there are plenty of amenities in the area. However, there is a lot of one-way traffic and limited parking. There is a fair amount of greenery in the neighbourhood, but luckily the dunes are not far away if you're looking for real nature.

Auto-translated to English by AIWhat a wonderful place I find Beverwijk! The location is fantastic: I love being so close to the coast. A quick stroll on the beach at Wijk aan Zee is easily done, and the dunes always offer a beautiful piece of nature for walking or cycling. I love breathing in the sea air. The shopping options: The Bazaar is of course unique and something I really enjoy. It's a fantastic, bustling place where I always find something special. The diversity there is great! But I also find the atmosphere in the city centre very pleasant. The people and the atmosphere: I experience Beverwijk as a place with a down-to-earth, cosy and cordial atmosphere. The people here are direct, and I like that. I really feel at home here. Culture and history: The historical elements, such as the ruins of Huis te Beverwijk, appeal to me a lot. I find it interesting to learn more about them. For me, Beverwijk is just a nice, lively municipality with a perfect mix of urban conveniences, history and nature. I wouldn't want to leave here! The only downside is the education in the neighbourhood. There are enough schools, but the level of the teachers and the education is very mediocre. This MUST be improved for the next generation.
Auto-translated to English by AIThe neighbourhood has deteriorated badly in the years we've lived here. They just cram everything in. Gardens with weeds, lots of rubbish in front and back gardens and on the street. No respect for each other at all. Still holding on but would love to leave. The housing association does very little. Only when you move out does the house get properly insulated with new floors. The ventilation system is NEVER cleaned. Draughty as hell here.
Auto-translated to English by AIThe Westertuinen actually consists of two neighbourhoods: the one below the Plesmanweg and the one above the Plesmanweg. I am writing about the first, but my experiences may also apply to the neighbourhood north of the Plesmanweg. The Westertuinen is a quiet and tidy neighbourhood with plenty of greenery and many well-maintained front gardens. I think it is one of the better neighbourhoods in Beverwijk, but perhaps a bit less cosy. A major drawback is the smell from the industry when the wind is from the west. Several schools and supermarkets are easily reachable by bike. For public transport, you have to put in a bit more effort. There are also plenty of playgrounds within walking distance. When I go on holiday, friends and acquaintances always want to use my house because they can drive to the beach every day.
Auto-translated to English by AIThe cosiness is gone. Since the neighbourhood became multicultural. More fear. Alcohol and drugs. Rats.. no school in the neighbourhood anymore. Few trees and shrubs. Lots of one-way traffic.

Auto-translated to English by AIIt's a reasonably neat neighbourhood, but in the evening there are many groups of young people hanging around who are not from the area. Other than that, it's okay.
Auto-translated to English by AIIn the 13 years we have lived here, we have seen the neighbourhood go from beautiful to run-down. Rubbish bags or rags stuck on windows, front gardens used as storage for trailers, mess and weeds. Back gardens are used as dumping grounds. Luckily our row is still quite good. They cram everything in. Let them live in a flat if they can't keep their garden tidy. In the meantime, a few car fires and explosions near houses. Safety is hard to find. Everyone should keep their street and area clean and weed-free. It's a 30 km/h zone but people drive way too fast while there is a school and daycare nearby. Such a shame about what was once such a nice neighbourhood.
