Auto-translated to English by AIIt's a good neighbourhood but a lot could also be better in terms of cleanliness, parking, safety.
Auto-translated to English by AII think it's a very nice neighbourhood, because there are many things to do nearby, like going to parks and walking paths. I've seen many nice and different houses in this neighbourhood, for example at friends' places, and it's nice that not every house is the same. It is difficult to buy a house in this area due to the costs, but overall it is a safe and cosy place to live near Utrecht Central.
Auto-translated to English by AII moved to this neighbourhood 15 years ago with two children aged 12 and 10 respectively. I invited the neighbours over to get acquainted, but it never went further than a Christmas card and saying hello to each other. I was busy with the kids, work, studies, etc. At the time, I didn't have much need for it either, and everyone did their own thing. Shops and restaurants within walking distance, as well as bus and train connections. The little river Krommerijn flows past my house. Lots of pleasure boats and joggers going back and forth to Amelisweerd. A small park nearby where I can enjoy walking. Primary schools close by and I feel safe. The house itself is fine, but could be better insulated and have a toilet upstairs. The neighbourhood could do more for each other by doing things together and each according to their abilities. Being able to help each other if needed, keeping an eye out. The lower part of the housing is much older, and above the lower houses there is an apartment. Here mainly live single people or families with young children. I would like to get to know each other and the question is: how do I do it?

Auto-translated to English by AIIt's nice to live in this neighbourhood because there is a very large student complex. It can be a bit noisy at times and the rubbish is not put away neatly. Furthermore, in spring we have a huge problem with the seagulls that live on our roofs. There are also hardly any facilities in the area in terms of shops. But it is easily accessible and close to the university. Also, it's super cosy to live with so many students and having a lot of nature in the surroundings is a luxury too.
