Nice neighbourhood, friendly social neighbours, it's wonderful to live here.

Good social people, always a chat if you live with dogs, very helpful if needed. The people are very approachable. Many dog lovers in the neighbourhood, met many nice people, you don't find this anymore in the big city. I'm very happy and grateful that we get to live here.

Not cosy. The area is, though.

Too bad we don't have nice neighbours. That sometimes makes me sad. A few years ago they hung our dog. And a friend was spat on and beaten with a dog leash until she bled. Then I think why. Why do they do that. I have no idea. Stadlander also says the light is not on you. But I'm still bothered by it.

A super cosy neighbourhood with lovely people

My experience with the neighbourhood is that the people are sociable and very friendly, exceptions aside, always a nice chat with people on the street or in the shops, beautiful surroundings with animals and forest nearby. Just a top neighbourhood we live in,

Vrederust has very little for the patients

Vrederust has few creative things for the patients, there should be much more. Jolanda Nuijten keeps donating magazines but can't keep going either. If the municipality would provide games for the patients, I would be happy. Greetings, Angel

Nice child-friendly neighbourhood

Nice neighbourhood, many schools nearby, never been burgled, never experienced nuisance, child-friendly, friendly people, plenty of supermarkets in the area. Nice football club, little trouble, good hygiene. Often cleaned by the municipality. Nice forest where you can play with your children and take walks.
