How residents experience their neighbourhood
Not a pleasant neighbourhood to live in. Lots of "special" tenants with mental health care, Brijder Stichting, TBS, alcohol and drug users. I only feel safe when I'm inside my home. The housing association does nothing about the noise and smell nuisance. For 15 years I've regularly had the smell of weed in my home. A mentally disturbed neighbour who makes noise and has threatened me several times, at least one death threat. Cars parked outside the lines, blocking the road to my home. But now the municipality has placed extra concrete bollards, which helps. Neighbours who think the law and rules don't apply to them and then complain about my garden. A noisy, small child upstairs who screams and yells constantly, and is generally unruly, with the mother screaming back. The homes are so poorly soundproofed that I can hear my neighbour sneeze. Unfortunately, I cannot move.
Auto-translated to English by AIVery self-contained. There is some social contact with some residents. The secondary school students cause unrest because they use drugs or smoke weed during breaks. They do this in the streets around Jan arentz secondary school. The park causes a lot of firework use, which means there is a lot of noise especially at night.

It's every man for himself, no cleaning up, just making a mess, not looking out for each other or taking each other into consideration.
Auto-translated to English by AIAll facilities in the neighbourhood, nice neighbours, only shame about the youth causing unrest. And that the youth don't clean up their mess, so very unhygienic in the neighbourhood. Cleaning up a bit works wonders.
Auto-translated to English by AIHave lived here for 43 years. Since the completion. It used to be a cosy, friendly neighbourhood. Now you could lie dead in your house and no one would notice. I'm from Amsterdam and I'm not used to this. Here it's every man for himself and God for us all.
Auto-translated to English by AIVery nice neighbours, good contact. Nice by the water. Only the youth is less. Breaking things, noise nuisance, drug bags on the ground (while walking the dog), setting off fireworks, teasing the dog, not cleaning up mess. Green a colourful verge with many poisonous plants for animals and people. Many social housing homes very damp, lots of mould, cracks in the walls, not insulated. Drains always blocked.
Auto-translated to English by AIthis neighbourhood is at the end of a dead-end street that opens into a park. the park has sports fields, nature trails, and horses and sheep roam. it borders a lake where you can skate in winter and swim in summer. the centre of Alkmaar is a 20-minute bike ride away. there are plenty of public transport lines to the central station, the centre, and shopping centre de Mare. Shopping centre de Mare is 1.5 km away with many shops for daily groceries but also for extensive shopping. this neighbourhood is the ideal neighbourhood to raise your children

How residents experience their municipality
Nare buurt. Veel wantrouwen tussen de bewoners. Veel geluidsoverlast dag en nacht. Veel straatvuil. Mensen zetten vuil naast de ondergrondse afval containers. De angst regeert. Mensen spreken elkaar niet aan op gedrag. Voortuinen vol tegels. De huizen zijn oud en gehorig.
