Geeren-zuid: a mixed neighbourhood with strong opinions
The neighbourhood Geeren-zuid is densely urban (over 2700 addresses per km²) and home to about 3750 people. It's a mix of families and singles, with a relatively young population, the largest age group is 25 to 45. Based on two reviews, opinions are divided. One resident says: 'Very dangerous my neighbourhood. Police don't listen. There is no gathering of the neighbourhood in the last two years.' Another describes it as: 'It can be cosy here but a lot of arguments/problems can arise. When young people want to do something here in Geeren Zuid, they usually go to the shopping centre, which only results in more loitering youths.' So while the area has its challenges, it's also a place where people have invested time and energy.
Daily life: schools and shops within walking distance
For everyday errands, you have several supermarkets a couple of streets away: Albert Heijn and Jumbo are both just over a kilometre from the door.
