Living in the Cellesbroek neighbourhood is a wonderful experience. The area has a close-knit community where neighbours know and greet each other, creating a warm and safe atmosphere. The proximity of green parks and play facilities makes it ideal for families with children. Additionally, many amenities such as shops, schools, and sports clubs are within walking distance, making daily life very comfortable. The regular neighbourhood activities and markets ensure a lively and cosy ambiance, making it always a pleasure to come home to Cellesbroek.

I've only been living here for a short time, but the first impression is positive! Pluses are: social cohesion; spacious neighbourhood; plenty of opportunities to walk the dogs; nice, quietly located house. I haven't been able to find any disadvantages yet.

No great homes. Lots of 80s, so without character but practical; like many 80s neighbourhoods in the Netherlands. Many rental houses in the area. Lots of nice people live in them, but (as probably in every neighbourhood) there are always sourpusses. For instance, there's a short-tempered resident who always acts very autistic about "her parking spot". She thinks her road tax counts more and covers that she can claim spots. Luckily, there are also many nicer older couples, young single ladies and gentlemen who are always up for a chat and there when needed. So the community is fine. There are plenty of schools of all kinds. The amenities could be better. There is greenery, but nothing special. There are still playgrounds, but a bunch have also been removed.

If you need help, just ask, we are there for each other. We have a nice neighbourhood. Cosy neighbourhood BBQ. Glad we live here.

I have always found it a nice neighbourhood since I was little, there are several playgrounds, extensive playgrounds with zip lines etc. There is also a city park with ducks, geese and other animals. A child-friendly neighbourhood, and if people need help with chores, that is arranged. All in all, a nice, cosy neighbourhood with facilities.

All 'necessary' things within walking/cycling distance, yet quite quiet. Quite a bit of traffic, but not bothersome. Speeding above the limit does happen regularly. Otherwise no nuisance from dog poop / rubbish next to the container or the like. Parking is difficult though, many houses don't have a spot in front of the door.

In this neighbourhood, there is very little going on. Few things happen and the people are friendly.

I enjoy living there

It's a fairly nice neighbourhood. New houses, young families, playgrounds everywhere and very small parks (could be a bit bigger in my opinion). Almost everyone has a video doorbell and therefore shares in the neighbourhood app (which fortunately exists) when they see strange or odd things happening. This has already solved several thefts! It's still being worked on, but the neighbourhood already feels very complete. The roads are nice and smooth, and it's conveniently located near the motorway and the supermarket. There are many rubbish bins, but sometimes some rubbish ends up next to them. The houses are well-maintained and new. There's a large shopping centre nearby. So few points for improvement except for the paving and reducing the parks.

Although I don't have much contact with neighbours, I find this neighbourhood very pleasant. We almost never have trouble with theft, and only one house occasionally causes some noise nuisance. There are also loitering youths, but they keep to themselves. There is a good shopping area and a nice park with a petting zoo nearby, and both the public greenery and the roads are well maintained. Once a year, the Zoddefestival takes place in this neighbourhood. This could be organised a bit better, as the festival grounds border a flat for the elderly. There are plenty of major roads in this neighbourhood, and there is also a train station. The neighbourhood is also suitable for children, as there is a primary school and a playground within walking distance, and other schools are readily available within a radius of up to two kilometres.

Quiet neighbourhood with many elderly people. Cosy centre with many local shops, plenty of supermarkets in the area. Lots of play opportunities for children. We know each other, social community. Good housing facilities.
