In a 55-plus flat with a meeting room, nice green area around the flat, we just make it a nice neighbourhood

No problem, I've lived here for 45 years, so I'm certainly happy. When someone passes away, we fly the flag at half-mast and honour them. Our flats have been renovated, completely maintenance-free, everyone is happy. Bus at the door, supermarket etc. 5 minutes walk, all that. Older, so it's nice to live here.

Can live here nicely, everything renovated, although there is often gossiping and peeping. I close my door and mind my own business, that's best. I certainly wouldn't want to be carried out of here and hopefully I can someday return to my hometown Hoorn, but for now it's okay.

Very nice neighbours in the flat

Have been living here for over a year and a half with great pleasure. Neighbourly help and cosy. More trees, for shade when it's hot.
