How residents experience their neighbourhood
Life here is fun, but I am not social with people because of my weak language skills in Dutch, as I am new here for a few months and haven't been to school yet, but I really enjoyed life in the Netherlands, and especially Venlo. I wish I had male and female friends and went out with them and talked to them. I have no one here, but I loved living here, everyone is kind and I have no problems with anyone, everyone is good and never does anything wrong.

How residents experience their district
I experience a lot of safety here. Never felt like I had to watch out for my safety and the roads are nicely built. I rarely experience a car driving too fast here and I never hear anything bad from neighbours about burglaries or theft. You can easily chat with people on the street that you see often because they walk their dogs, and I was even helped once with my bike when the chain came off. It is generally clean, only sometimes there are extra bags of rubbish and furniture by the containers. Houses are fine, nothing to complain about. They all look neat inside and out. Internet works well, fibre optic and electricity never go out. There are many playgrounds. Walking opportunities along the Maas and several supermarkets within walking distance. Also several bus stops and a fitness centre. You can easily get there on foot, by bike or by car. There is only a secondary school in the neighbourhood.

Auto-translated to English by AII live in Genooi, which is in Venlo North. It's never boring here; everyone can laugh and cry together, it's as if we are all one. There are loads of supermarkets and other shops, it's close to the city, and there's plenty to do in the neighbourhood, literally. The only pity is that there isn't enough green space; the woods are closed because a company wants to build more things there, even though foxes roam around here.
Auto-translated to English by AIThe neighbourhood has a favourable location relative to the city, nature and amenities. The immediate neighbours are lovely. There is a lot of diversity in this neighbourhood, but it goes well together. Occasionally there is theft in the neighbourhood, which reduces safety. There is a staircase down to walk to the Maas and towards the city. I enjoy living here!
Auto-translated to English by AII've lived here for about 23 years now and never really had any complaints, everyone gets along, we're all one as a neighbourhood, truly wonderful here

Auto-translated to English by AII have lived here since I gave birth to my children, it is like our home♥️
Auto-translated to English by AICosy with people who always have time for a chat and always say hello. Neighbourhood with many dogs and children and elderly people and different cultures.
Auto-translated to English by AIVery social and involved. Cosy and safe. Every year flower boxes in our courtyard that are cared for and maintained by certain residents.
Auto-translated to English by AIFriendly with each other. Noisy. Beautiful surroundings, but everything and everyone lives close together. Rarely a moment of peace and quiet. There are many children in the neighbourhood, they throw their rubbish on the street. So far I have always felt safe in our neighbourhood, but more and more residents or people from outside are coming. That gives a more unsafe feeling. Steyl has few amenities. There is only a supermarket. If you need other items, you will have to look for them in another place. Fortunately, we have greenery here and there, but that does mean there is more noise nuisance. The maintenance of the greenery is all done electrically, with most machines causing a huge racket. The people working with them wear ear/hearing protectors themselves.
Auto-translated to English by AIVery nice neighbourhood to live in. All the facilities we need are present.
Auto-translated to English by AIQuiet, pleasant neighbourhood
Auto-translated to English by AIGood, there are often problems with open roads, but otherwise a nice neighbourhood.
