Too expensive, dilapidated white neighbourhood,

A fascist neighbourhood that claims to be left-wing. Poorly maintained streets. Everywhere there is vomit, glass, and rubbish. Dirty pavements, graffiti everywhere, every street suffers from a huge nuisance of students. Students overpopulate the area. No diversity, too expensive shops. Only rich white people. Social inequality is clearly visible here. 1000 metres away in Overvecht people have nothing, here in abundance. Full of snobs. Social housing is only 6 percent, deliberately sold off, all homes are being split: unliveable, too much noise, and expanded with extra floors. People earn an average of 6-10,000 per month and look like tramps. There is no cohesion, people are focused on themselves, all islands. The atmosphere is gone. It was once a beautiful neighbourhood, but yuppies, damn students and damn expats have turned it into a white enclave of coke-sniffing egotrippers.

A very nice place to grow up

Living so close to Griftpark was great fun to grow up in, and there are also often neighbourhood parties that make it all a lot closer.

Village in the City

When I come to Voordorp, it really feels like a village. People look at you, say hello, children play in the street, and there's a lot of greenery. It's also car-free, which makes it nice and quiet on the street! Once there was a fight between a bunch of street youths, but I don't think they were from the neighbourhood. Because I hardly ever see people hanging around on the street, which I also like. My room is practically on the pavement and I never have any trouble with anyone. I also come from a village and was a bit afraid of the city's hustle and bustle, but it's not like that at all, so that's really great.

Cosy, but few rubbish bins.

Very safe and also mixed in terms of people. Supermarket and the city centre are a 5-minute walk or bike ride away. Although there are trees, there is more nature than in other places, but still not enough.

It's a nice quiet neighbourhood to live in. Here and there some green spaces and playgrounds for children. There's a large supermarket in the area with a shopping centre around it that also has a chemist etc. There are 2 schools in the area, one of which has a less strong reputation, which already limits the choice. The area is easily accessible by car and bike, although the Zuilense ring sometimes gets congested. The bus connection is less good; the 55 goes past the area and the 4 goes through the area. Unfortunately, the 4 is not a reliable bus and if it doesn't come, you can wait half an hour for the next one. Sometimes there is still some rubbish on the street, especially around De Gaard. The large waste containers there really look a mess and have a lot of rubbish lying next to them. My neighbours are friendly. The area is quiet yet still in the city; within 10 minutes by bike you're in the city centre and within a few minutes by car you're on the motorway.

Cosy neighbourhood

The neighbourhood is cosy, but there is also some nuisance from the Salvation Army hostel.
