Very good · 2 residents
The living room of my house looks out onto the Beetzlaan, the other side looks out onto the Nieuwstraat: I have little/nothing to do with the Schaepmanstraat, for example, which is a much less good street. Many people from a lower social class also live there: there is nothing wrong with that in itself, but I don't understand these people, the children hang around on the street and are constantly shouting. So I avoid these streets, I distance myself from them. The entrance to the Bleekveld car park where my car is parked is on the Beetzlaan, and I consider the Beetzlaan as the entrance to my house. Within walking distance there is a bus station and by bike you can reach the shops in 7 minutes: I find that very pleasant. I have good contact with most residents of Bleekveld (18 homes). Years ago, De Alliantie allowed me to have a balcony built in the attic as part of 'home improvement'. This was a pilot by De Alliantie, and I am very happy with it. I think I have a fantastic house in a nice neighbourhood/street to live in.
