Much improved

Child-friendly and mostly quiet neighbourhood. The roads and rental homes have recently been renovated, which has significantly improved the appearance of the area. By introducing one-way streets, the number of cars in the neighbourhood is negligible.

Sufficient

I have been living on Seringenstraat for three years. I find it pleasant to live here. I have a nice house with a garden. I am sometimes really amazed at how quiet it is here. I have good contact with the neighbourhood. It's nice that everyone leads their own life, unlike in the apartment complex Het Ketelhuis where I lived for seven years and there was always interference and control from and by fellow tenants.

I miss something

I like living here. I only miss a train station. And there are often groups of teenagers in the neighbourhood who think they are above the law. But otherwise I am more than satisfied. We are close to the supermarket, the forest and the bus station!
