General impression is neutral and quiet

Quiet neighbourhood with sometimes jealous residents, the general picture in the Netherlands. The grass is always greener on the other side.

Nice neighbourhood

Nice neighbourhood, but a lot of loud children. I don't mind, except there's one family that puts their child in the garden when it's crying so the whole neighbourhood can enjoy it too. Usually around 8 in the morning.

Spacious and quiet

Pleasant neighbourhood to live in unless you like some bustle. Quiet and boring. There is a Lidl a 15-minute walk away. No other shops or nightlife. There is a cheerless community centre. In short, if you want to live quietly without any fuss around you, this is a good place. You do need a car to get anywhere.
