Bosch en Vaart scores an 8.3 out of 10 from residents, based on two reviews.

Another calls it "cool", with everything close to a nice forest and not much hassle. The neighbourhood is fairly urban (2,481 addresses per km²) and home to a mix of ages, with a notable share of over-65s (23%) and families with children (37%). Most homes are owner-occupied (81%), and the area has a strong pre-war character. Read more about the neighbourhood Bosch en Vaart.

By lively I mean that there are many hip young people living here and there are many amenities and infrastructure in the neighbourhood, but it is anonymous because people don't really know each other. You live there and know your neighbours, but you don't really know your neighbours' neighbours. Many people move often.
