pleasant living in marsdijk

I was born and raised in marsdijk assen. I have lived in this nice neighbourhood for 14 years, which is also because I am 14 years old. I enjoy living here. I generally feel quite safe, except when you go to the anne frank park after 8pm. the atmosphere there is usually grim. it is a very cosy neighbourhood, I definitely recommend people to live here. especially if they have a pretty daughter my age.

Steady

The neighbourhood is cosy but can be noisy in the evening in the adjacent park, but overall it's always fine and not much else happens in the area.

Reasonably neat neighbourhood, but people should do more with their gardens

Reasonably neat, but more green maintenance by residents themselves, more control over housing construction. Shops, schools, playgrounds sufficient.
