How residents experience their district
Lovely and safe clean modern living environment with plenty of parking. The entire living environment has an environmentally friendly appearance and is gas-free; most homes have zero on the electricity meter. Fun for young and old, there are also various play areas for children and a large sports park. No trouble ever in a lovely green environment near a beautiful nature reserve and relatively close to supermarkets, beach/swimming pool and catering establishments. There are also schools/daycare within walking distance, and all this just a few minutes' drive from the city and main roads to the big cities.

Because too many nationalities live together who don't want to adapt to the Dutch, it's a neighbourhood with many problems
Auto-translated to English by AIGood social people, always a chat if you live with dogs, very helpful if needed. The people are very approachable. Many dog lovers in the neighbourhood, met many nice people, you don't find this anymore in the big city. I'm very happy and grateful that we get to live here.
