It's a beautiful and green neighbourhood, with nature that truly enchants you. Yet sometimes it can feel too quiet and isolated. The neighbourhood is connected to the rest of the city by only two roads. When the bridge 'De Binding' is closed, only one route remains to civilisation — which regularly leads to traffic jams. Additionally, there is unfortunately a lack of good amenities. There isn't a single café or ice cream parlour in the area; for a simple cup of coffee or a treat, you have to travel miles. The infrastructure could certainly be improved to make life here more pleasant and better connected.
