It is messy, dirty, the paving stones are pushed up by the tree roots." Another adds, "Not a nice neighbourhood. I moved here in 2022 but I don't think it's a proper neighbourhood because of bulky waste disposal with rats, front gardens that are not well maintained, paving stones that are uneven and not neatly aligned." Both note excellent transport links and nearby green space like Sloterplas.

I live near the Lelylaan. There is a small shopping area. Public transport is good: trams, buses, metro, train, excellent. It is messy, dirty, the paving stones are pushed up by the tree roots. It is run-down, there is greenery but according to the tree expert the trees are diseased. Sloterplas is within walking distance. There are a few schools in the neighbourhood. There are a few amenities.
Auto-translated to English by AII moved here in 2022 but I don't think it's a proper neighbourhood because of bulky waste disposal with rats, front gardens that are not well maintained, paving stones that are uneven and not neatly aligned; I fell earlier this year. No, not a nice neighbourhood. The neighbourhood is easily accessible by public transport, car and bike; the nearest shopping area is Sierplein.
