I have a very good experience with this neighbourhood. I have lived in the Schapenmeent my whole life and find it a very pleasant place to live. (Almost) everyone is friendly here and greets each other when they walk by. It is also a very safe environment. For example, if you leave your door open, no one will step inside; some people even close the door for you or knock/ring the bell to let you know. In other words, we look out for each other and help when needed. Of course, there are a few bad apples, but you always have that unfortunately. So, Schapenmeent is a very nice, quiet, and safe place.
