Quiet neighbourhood

A quiet neighbourhood, with nice people. Small playground, large grass field, lots of trees and bushes, many shops and schools nearby. Live close to a beautiful park with a big playground. Near GP and hospital. Neighbourhood is safe and clean. We really enjoy living here.

Deterioration

Unfortunately, the neighbourhood is deteriorating. A lot of rubbish is dumped and the police often have to come. Education: there are schools nearby and it's green enough. Shops are conveniently close and the houses have just been completely renovated.

Nice quiet neighbourhood

We live in a very nice quiet neighbourhood, we look out onto a large grass field with a playground. Have very nice neighbours. Live close to schools and shops. Park is also nearby. Plenty of greenery at the front. We all keep an eye out here for safety.

Surrounded by green

In my opinion, Prinsejagt is a nice neighbourhood to live in. It is relatively quiet for an urban area. The biggest plus is the park that surrounds the neighbourhood. Especially if, like us, you live not far from the green areas. An advantage of this is that you can more easily tell your children the area where they are allowed to play alone. As long as they stay within the main roads (Oude Bosschebaan, 1e Lieven de Keylaan and Huizingalaan), it is a safe neighbourhood. There are also disadvantages. The chosen tree species are not optimal. Roots cause problems and in summer the cars get sticky. Also, the shopping area is uninspiring. There is a Jumbo, a sushi place, a chip shop, a hairdresser, but overall it is not a nice place to spend time. Another disadvantage, and this is very personal, is the big difference in types of people. From sweet (older) people to, let's say, less well-mannered individuals.

Pretty good neighbourhood

I live there myself and think it's a fine neighbourhood. It's sufficiently hygienic, there is a very good primary school, it's very green, there are many amenities especially at Elckerlyclaan, it's easily accessible by public transport or other transport, sometimes it is unsafe at night.
