Decent area

I've never really had any problems in the mentioned areas, hence I gave everything at least a 7. Although I think the problems that exist are more problems that are the same throughout the Netherlands.

Weak neighbourhood

Lived here for 34 years, the area has deteriorated, gardens etc. are very dirty, not a tidy neighbourhood, what could be improved in this area is that more maintenance is done on greenery and the streets.

Within 8 years the neighbourhood has deteriorated

Right from the start, men were busy using drugs. The municipality of Kerkrade did little with the police, and it hasn't helped at all; drug dealers are still active. Luckily, we are now in a safe place where you can go for a walk without worry. The municipality of Kerkrade is driving families away from Kerkrade and prefers Ukrainian people over their own Dutch people. It would be good if Russia dropped a bomb on the town hall of Kerkrade; then maybe something good would come back in its place.

Good to live in

Good living, accessibility fine. Few contacts because we only just moved in. Many empty commercial premises being converted into housing with many Eastern Europeans.

Rent price and quality of living match, but the neighbourhood is deteriorating rapidly

The neighbourhood is deteriorating rapidly. Household waste is dumped. Children who are not admitted to any school hang around all day. Parents who swear at their children using foul language, polluted alleyways. Vermin. Cats left behind after moves. Music with bass turned up extremely loud. No respect for fellow residents or small children. Unemployment (not wanting to work because the ratio of participation and income is almost equal). Glad that the children receive good education at a broad school that has everything. Also very happy that we can walk into nature like this.
