Auto-translated to English by AIIt's a very quiet neighbourhood in general, from our neighbourhood the Berkel is easily accessible for a walk, also it's just a few hundred metres walk to the bus station, the people here are very kind.
Auto-translated to English by AIOver the past 5 years, nuisance from antisocial people including noise, fireworks, screaming children, reckless driving and mess. Rarely a moment when it's a bit quiet. This ruins the living pleasure I've had for years. Also many open containers and dirt, and as a result a rat plague in the neighbourhood. The little green there is is poorly managed. I have a green garden and there is some municipal greenery, but there should be much more green.
Auto-translated to English by AISome neighbours are quite nice. I've lived here for 32 years now, had different neighbours, and in the last 20 years no one has introduced themselves anymore. There are still two neighbours living here: one has lived here since those houses were built, I get along very well with them, and that other lady I also get along well with. Six houses next to each other, and I've shared joy and sorrow with some. And I think if they have dogs, they should clean up the mess in the grass; you walk in it too. Putting the wheelie bins out and bringing them in is just normal, but it ends up under your shoes.
Auto-translated to English by AINice neighbours with whom you can regularly have a conversation. Once a year on New Year's Eve we get together to ring out the old year with oliebollen / mulled wine and/or hot chocolate. We take turns organising this. It's also a moment to get to know the new people who have come to live here. We have a mixed neighbourhood. Status holders who are incredibly integrated.

Auto-translated to English by AIVery chatty people so it's a nice social neighbourhood, you can have a chat with almost anyone
Auto-translated to English by AIRegularly no consideration for each other (probably because I come from the west and there they did consider each other, the municipality was doing well in that regard). For example, in the west we had to keep the alley behind your garden clean; here in the alleys it's a jungle and mess of weeds. If an emergency service ever needs to get through, they'll have to clear the path first.
Auto-translated to English by AISocial, compassionate, cosy and beautiful. A small village in Gelderland. We know each other. You can count on your fellow villagers and especially your neighbours. Whether it's for a small errand, walking someone else's dog, or watering the plants when someone is on holiday. And the children are involved in everything and look after each other's children. We are there for each other! There is always something to do. Every year something special with the neighbourhood. We keep the neighbourhood tidy together. Would never want to leave here.
