A neighbourhood that could be a bit tidier

Neighbourhood with character. But maybe it's about time they renovated the flat.

Child-friendly and a good mix of residents

It's a friendly neighbourhood, everyone says hello to each other, a quiet neighbourhood in the evenings it's peaceful at a nice distance from the centre, many different kinds of people. People with disabilities, teachers, construction workers, IT workers, people with mental health issues, refugees, all sorts, mostly cosy.

A safe neighbourhood with a beautiful and convenient environment

We have everything in our neighbourhood, all kinds of shops, restaurants and also many schools. Only the schools themselves are not very well organised. For example, in one building there are two schools.

nice neighbourhood

nice neighbourhood, with a shopping centre within a 5-minute radius a parcel service at someone's home that has 4 carriers at one address and also brings people together socially because neighbours meet each other there and have a chat. many people come there regularly and those people are really very kind, they also think about their neighbours regarding the parking of people who come to pick up/deliver a parcel. and they also help people with other things on their phone, that sort of thing. they do this alongside their normal job. that's why they only open at 5.15 pm.
