I live on the Singel, which is quite busy with traffic, but the streets behind it (between the Singel and the railway) are actually very quiet and peaceful. This is also because there are few amenities in this part. However, you can easily reach all necessary shops on foot. Due to the few cafés in these streets, there is little sense of community. The quiet streets behind the house can sometimes be scary when you have to walk through them at night. Especially the stretch from the central station to home passes dark parks and offices that are empty in the evening. Living on the Singel, apart from the traffic, is very nice because you can (run) along the Singel in the greenery straight away. Hygiene is fine. The bins are not often too full.
Auto-translated to English by AILiving so close to the city centre has pros and cons. Main con is noise. But we love how walkable this neighborhood is to everything in the city centre. We can't imagine living the same lifestyle if we live further away.
Auto-translated to English by AII've lived in the Zeven Steegjes all my life and really enjoy it here
Auto-translated to English by AII've lived here my whole life and have always enjoyed it.
Auto-translated to English by AIIn terms of amenities it's wonderful to live in the centre, but it's also very busy and not accessible by car. Public transport is excellent. I never feel comfortable walking alone late at night because of all the homeless people and creepy individuals. There should be much more green space in the centre for my liking. It could be so much better. We do have a very nice green courtyard at the apartment complex.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's a nice area to live in. The location is pleasant, but it's the centre so there's almost always noise pollution. Of course that's to be expected. However, the surroundings aren't very hygienic. In the courtyard where we live, there are many restaurants that dump their waste in the alleys. That's a shame.
Auto-translated to English by AIStreet full of shops and cosiness. Nice and bustling sometimes also noisy but that's not the residents' fault haha
Auto-translated to English by AII grew up there. It's quiet. Twijnstraat is beautiful. We hardly have any trouble with Altrecht. It's also nice that that's possible in the city. The neighbours are nice.
