The neighbourhood: Industriewijk 't Plaveen
The neighbourhood Industriewijk 't Plaveen has 830 residents and a mix of families and singles. Two residents reviewed it: one says "The people are nice" and mentions a "Cozy atmosphere". Another is less positive: "The neighbourhood is often dirty. There's a lot of rubbish and the drains are regularly blocked. People drive extremely fast through the neighbourhood. I don't dare let my children play freely." The area borders an industrial estate, which brings traffic and parking issues. Most homes are owner-occupied (63%) and 68% are single-family houses.

Cozy atmosphere
Auto-translated to English by AIThe neighbourhood is often dirty. There's a lot of rubbish and the drains are regularly blocked. People drive extremely fast through the neighbourhood. I don't dare let my children play freely. Many work vans and trucks drive through our street to make the route to Havenstraat easier. Because the industrial estate borders our residential area, there is almost never any parking space for us residents. The garage that is there parks its cars in our neighbourhood because it can no longer accommodate them itself. There is also a gym where all members park in the neighbourhood. As a result, we often have to walk far to get to our homes. The neighbourhood is not child-friendly due to the heavy traffic and there is little to do. There is a playground but they cannot go there safely. It would be ideal if there were one-way traffic. And more rubbish bins.
