Nice neighbourhood

I haven't lived here very long, the social cohesion between me and the neighbours is very good. I think it's a nice neighbourhood, also conveniently next to the city within a 15-minute walk.

Our Waterkwartier

Our Waterkwartier is a cosy neighbourhood. Not far from the centre. It has a mixed community. Various cosy eateries in the area. And of course a good school. The elderly have also been catered for with various residential locations including the Griffioen. All kinds of activities are organised there. And there is also a good neighbourhood restaurant.

What a top location to live! I've been living here for almost 10 years and I really enjoy it! All amenities and motorways are nearby. It could be a bit greener though, and especially the tunnel at the central station could be safer.

Waste policy

Hygiene: the waste policy in the neighbourhood causes a lot of vermin. Residual waste and plastic waste are put out on the street in bags. The residual waste in particular stinks. Another problem is that the waste is collected early on Monday morning, making it difficult for students to dispose of waste easily. My house and several other student houses in the area therefore sometimes had the problem that waste piled up significantly because no one was home on Sunday evening to put the waste out. Housing: many buildings have been poorly maintained for years, poorly insulated. From the outside, however, they are beautiful. As far as greenery is concerned, it could always be better in my opinion, but we certainly don't have it bad.
