I have lived in the Geuzenbuurt for 16 years, schools, supermarket. The station and the city centre are a 10-minute walk away, there is a playground on every corner. And there are several primary and secondary schools in the neighbourhood.

Auto-translated to English by AInice neighbourhood, unfortunately the neighbourhood is going downhill due to foreign Dutch people and drug dealers
Auto-translated to English by AIGood, lots of friends and my work is in the neighbourhood. The residents are 9/10 times very friendly and there's always something fun going on.
Auto-translated to English by AII have lived in the Besselstraat my whole life and wouldn't want to live anywhere else. Everything is nearby (think: supermarket, school, petrol station, swimming pool, playgrounds, city centre, heath/forest/park, hospital/GP/pharmacy, young and old, snack bar, small beach, etc.) and everything still has the beautiful Dudok architecture. You can leave your bike in the garden without a lock and there is very good communication between neighbours thanks to the WhatsApp neighbourhood watch. Every year a outdoor play day is organised and from 10:00 to 22:00 it's nothing but fun for young and old. We also have good rules in the neighbourhood regarding nuisance, such as set times for DIY work so that as few people as possible are bothered by it. It's always very cosy; for example, when you take a walk on the heath, almost everyone says hello to you. A very nice neighbourhood to grow up in as there are many young families. The heath always looks very clean and beautiful, there are wild bulls and you can walk/picnic/run/mountain bike from sunrise to sunset. There has been some nuisance around the Lorentzvijver by foreigners, but that is very minimal and if you don't interfere they don't do anything, just send the police.
Auto-translated to English by AII've lived in this neighbourhood for 5 years, I think it's a lovely green neighbourhood! There are also many playgrounds, which the kids love! There are also many grass fields where you can play with the kids. And Seinhorst is right in the neighbourhood, so you're sure to have a supermarket, Etos, Gal&Gal, Blokker and a car park available.
Auto-translated to English by AIPlus points are that there are many playgrounds and that there is a forest
Auto-translated to English by AIBeautiful green neighbourhood, but there are many roads with too few traffic lights to cross safely. Lots of playgrounds for children, a skate park and many grassy areas to play or walk the dog. A cosy neighbourhood that is accessible to almost everyone!
