Used to be a bad neighbourhood back in the day, but it's getting worse again like before

Non-Dutch people don't make it better, they think everything is allowed and possible, now police too often. A lot of rubbish outside the container since the underground container, which causes many mice and rats. Everything has deteriorated due to different cultures and because dealing happens right in apartments and streets.

Decent neighbourhood but could be cleaner

A decent multicultural society, but no sense of cleanliness. Everything is just thrown on the street, both parents and children, and the children are not called out on it by the parents because they consider it normal and standard. It's a good thing the municipality regularly cleans up the mess, otherwise Holtenbroek II would be a dump. And I think that's due to the multicultural society because in the countries where the multicultural society comes from, that is also standard. Adaptation of the multicultural society to Dutch customs, values and rules is something they don't know or don't want to know, especially the latter. But unfortunately, aside from what I've written above, Holtenbroek II is a very nice multicultural society where I, as an indigenous white Dutch person, feel very much at home.

Multicultural neighbourhood

I've been living in Holtenbroek for almost 10 years now. It's very green here, with lots of trees and small woods for lovely walks. It's also good for young people: a Johan Cruyff court for kicking a ball around, a large grass field for other games, and even a slide with other play equipment for the little ones. The flats in Holtenbroek have recently been renovated, which is a huge improvement! Only the hygiene in and around the flats and the bushes along the roads is downright poor. Rubbish bags thrown down from the flats, huge piles of waste by the containers, and unfortunately also a lot of litter in the bushes. Safety in this neighbourhood is downright poor; serious violent incidents like shootings and stabbings happen regularly. Some flat residents also regularly cause nuisance by playing loud music for hours, not keeping their dog on a lead, and sitting outside the front door, which can be intimidating. However, despite all the negative things, it has improved enormously compared to how it was before (yes, it could be worse, haha). We try to keep the flat and the neighbourhood clean by picking up litter or mopping the lift floor. Because it's a multicultural society here in Holtenbroek, you can regularly enjoy beautiful music bands (African) performing on the grass field next to the Johan Cruyff court. Or when you're sitting on the balcony enjoying the sun and a delicious smell reaches your nose because someone is cooking with wonderful foreign herbs somewhere in the flat. Conclusion: a lot of points for improvement for Holtenbroek, but a big step forward from how it was. I am satisfied.
