Life in the Bloemenbuurt
Residents give the Bloemenbuurt an average score of 5.9 out of 10, based on three reviews. One resident says: "You can sum it up as follows: my experience with the Bloemenbuurt is very negative. In two consecutive situations, we had neighbours who caused a lot of nuisance. There were concerns about drug activities, the safety of children, and serious incidents in the neighbourhood, including a car explosion. As a result, I don't feel safe here and I wouldn't choose to live in this neighbourhood myself." Another resident adds: "After living in this neighbourhood for many years, a lot has changed in the meantime; many neighbours cause division among the residents, and they just do whatever they can't help doing. It must be the times, but it used to be nice living here." The neighbourhood has 1,345 residents, and 61 crimes were recorded in the area. With three reviews, the picture is limited but clearly mixed. For more on the area, see [the Bloemenbuurt neighbourhood].
