From a decent neighbourhood to a deprived area

A lively and diverse neighbourhood

Different kinds of people live in my neighbourhood with diverse backgrounds and from various cultures. Also a good mix in terms of ages. There are plenty of activities and facilities. And the neighbourhood is easily accessible. However, busy traffic is sometimes a downside. There is enough green space in my neighbourhood and the maintenance is reasonably good.

Nice neighbourhood to live in with lots of greenery.

Living in Paddepoel feels to me like living in a small town within the city. Everything I need is close by: the shopping centre around the corner, the bus to the city centre at my doorstep, and the Zernike campus within walking distance. The neighbourhood is a mix of quiet and lively; during the day you hear children playing, and in the evenings it's often pleasantly busy around the shops. All sorts of people live here, from students to families and the elderly, which makes the area a bit chaotic but also very human. Sometimes it's a bit messy or you hear traffic, but that's part of the city. Overall, Paddepoel feels like a practical, familiar place where there's always something to do.

Pleasant living and plenty of amenities

The shop is a 2-minute walk away and open until 10 PM, plus there are many other nice shops in the shopping centre. The municipality regularly comes by to clean and tidy up, and I have lovely neighbours.

fine

I think it's a nice neighbourhood, it's nice and quiet and everything is easy to reach. Shops are conveniently close and there are plenty of public transport options. Schools in the area are also easy to reach and not too far.

Plenty going on

Quite a lot happens in the Paddepoel neighbourhood. Fortunately, I am less affected by it myself and I live in a nice location.
