Very good · 3 residents
Nice neighbourhood for small children and young families. Good amenities in the area in terms of shops and schools. Safe for children to play. Pleasant social control. Too little parking, especially when schools start and end. Sometimes nuisance from young people, although that has been going very well lately. Cosy and social neighbours and neighbourhood.
Auto-translated to English by AIFantastic neighbourhood, lots of contact with each other, also when ill and we take groceries for each other. If something is wrong we help each other, for example during a storm saving a roof by means of a tarp if you see the neighbour struggling. And so much more. Behind here lie the meadows from Assendelft to Beverwijk. Uitgeest. We'll stay here until the end!♡♡♡♡
Auto-translated to English by AIVery social neighbourhood with nice people. For example, if someone is ill, another person does their grocery shopping, etc. Occasionally a party, but you just join in everyone's party. We look after each other's cats when away. The only thing everyone is annoyed by is the weeds that new neighbours don't remove in the alleys, and unfortunately you're not allowed to say anything about it. The older residents always do it, and you have to cycle through them.
