Wijert safe until 10

It's a fine neighbourhood, only in the evening when young people are around it's not safe, been shouted at and followed several times.

Mostly every man for himself, with occasional attempts to build a community

I have almost no contact with neighbours. There are three supermarkets within walking distance. Other amenities are also nearby. To get to the city centre, it's always a 15-minute bike ride, which is a shame.

Decent neighbourhood but lacks better public transport connections and more greenery

I lived here for about two years and there is more than enough access to shops/churches/schools etc, that was never a problem. However, this neighbourhood is poorly connected to public transport, which really should be better. This was a major reason for me to want to move, it was too far from e.g. Zernike, friends, or everything on the north side of the city. The neighbourhood always felt safe otherwise. Most of the nuisance came from schoolchildren during breaks at e.g. the shops and around the schools. They often don't put their rubbish in a bin, which I personally found very annoying. Other than that, the neighbourhood is perfectly fine.

Cosy, everything nearby, green

It's cosy, the neighbourhood is beautifully green. Shops nearby, public transport nearby and the A28 nearby. Also many schools, primary and secondary. Hoornse Plas is within cycling distance. Open-air swimming pool De Papiermolen is within walking distance. In 10 minutes by bike you're in the city centre, perfect!
