Aagtendorp is not what it used to be

The neighbourhood exists. Not much happens, it lacks vibrancy. The festivities of yesteryear are no more. However, it is still closer-knit than most neighbourhoods. Additionally, the area is flooded with work vans and parking has become abysmal since the permit zone was expanded to our neighbourhood. Some trees have been planted, but much more greenery could and should be added to the existing planters, bay windows, and such. Furthermore, the neighbourhood is rather drab, which happens quickly when the houses are literally painted grey. There is also a lot of illegal dumping. There is always some rubbish lying around somewhere. The bus routes in the area, if they even run nearby, are not great. They rarely go where you want to go. Postboxes are also disappearing, and even polling stations are hard to find.

A real working-class neighbourhood

The people are sociable and there are plenty of amenities in the area. However, there is a lot of one-way traffic and limited parking. There is a fair amount of greenery in the neighbourhood, but luckily the dunes are not far away if you're looking for real nature.
