Diverse but a bit messy

The access is great because of the closeness to the station. The architecture is a bit disorganised and sometimes it does get a bit dirty and unhygienic; the trash gets everywhere around the bins and is not picked up frequently enough, as I have seen the same thing stay in the same place for over 9 days. But the community is diverse and at least in my area it's pretty safe, even late at night. There are a lot of students and immigrants and as an international student I feel very welcomed. My building is a bit messy but there is no serious issue like pests or anything, and for the rent it’s pretty good.

Active but good

The neighbourhood is active but not unsafe; there are shops and amenities within walking distance, so you can easily buy a döner and do your shopping at Albert Heijn. There are a few homeless people here who are a bit chaotic, but if you mind your own business, nothing happens.

Everyone grew up together, making the neighbourhood feel like one close-knit community

I experience the Noordpolderbuurt as a quiet, pleasant neighbourhood where you can really feel at home. Almost everyone has known each other for years, creating a warm and close community. The neighbourhood feels safe, both during the day and in the evening, and there is a relaxed atmosphere. The homes are generally of good quality and well-maintained. The streets are clean and hygienic, which further enhances living comfort. There is also plenty of greenery in the area; the nature and parks make it a nice place to walk or unwind. In addition, there are sufficient amenities in the neighbourhood, making daily life easy and pleasant. Whether it's shops, schools, or other important facilities: everything is easily accessible. The accessibility of the neighbourhood is excellent, whether by public transport, car, or bike. In short: the Noordpolderbuurt is for me a quiet, safe, and social neighbourhood where people enjoy living and where the atmosphere feels positive and familiar.

It's a neighbourhood with a bad reputation, but it's not that bad actually

It's a decent neighbourhood with plenty of parks and other amenities. However, there are quite a few problems in the area, such as nuisance and dangerous people who harass you. Additionally, it's often dirty because rubbish isn't collected often enough. Despite all this, I'm quite satisfied with living in this neighbourhood.

Overcrowded

Very often nuisance from people (foreign) who share houses here with too many people. And leave rubbish everywhere on the street. And sometimes I don't feel safe on the street.

Cosiest neighbourhood

This neighbourhood is very cosy and you feel at home here. Good communication with neighbours. Lots of shops in the area. Easy to travel by public transport. Close to the city centre, which is of course very nice. There is also a forest nearby where you can explore nature. Fun activities for children, like going to the petting zoo. There are also community centres where you can meet people and do fun activities. In short, this is where you want to live.
