Auto-translated to English by AIShops are far from walking distance, public transport is not doable in Hoogvliet, the only good thing is the metro to the centre. There are many loitering youths causing nuisance, especially in November and December they throw fireworks, they seem like bombs, windows shake from it. There is also little for young people to do. There is hardly anything to do in terms of activities for adults. Traffic is also a disaster despite the speed bumps.
Auto-translated to English by AIBeautiful lovely house with lots of nature around
Auto-translated to English by AIMy neighbourhood has really gone downhill in the last 20 years. People don't greet each other, children throw rubbish on the street and the council doesn't take residents seriously. Too little greenery and far too few meeting places with a bench.
Auto-translated to English by AICosy lively neighbourhood. Nice people, many amenities, everything close together
Auto-translated to English by AILots of people from other countries, but we get along very well. For Eid al-Fitr we get cookies from the Ethiopian neighbour, and for a birthday a gift, so sweet. From the Pakistani neighbours wine at Christmas and everything that is not allowed in their faith. And from the Ethiopian neighbour a Christmas arrangement. We also give gifts when they have a birthday or when a baby is born, and cake for birthdays. We respect each other's faith and way of life. It can be like this too. For Sinterklaas a chocolate letter.
