Decent little neighbourhood

Fine, but there could be more playground equipment for the children. Better enforcement for the loitering youth.

Nostalgic neighbourhood

Beautiful old trees, green neighbourhood in the district, 1930s houses, good atmosphere, friendly, warm-hearted people from different backgrounds. Harmony and everyone is there for each other. Good accessibility by bus, bike or car. Centrally located near the city centre and central station.

Soesterkwartier what a...

The once beautiful working-class neighbourhood is now in decay, especially the part with only rental houses. Too much "a" social control: if you sell things from your home to different people, you're already labelled a drug dealer. The Noordewierweg, what a mess; at the front near the Opidium you can already tell that the streets along this road are not doing well. Subsidence has already been recorded, also by myself. Shops are disappearing, and if something comes back, it's only "I don't understand, I'm a refugee" vibe. Activities for the youth? The municipality of Amersfoort doesn't know; nothing is done about youngsters who mess things up or destroy things. Covered bus stops have been removed. Drug dealers are present in many places in the Soesterkwartier. Everything could be better.

Chill neighbourhood

I've lived here for 10 years and I don't have many problems with the neighbourhood. I don't have much contact with the other residents but I'm still always invited to street parties and stuff.

Old-fashioned working-class neighbourhood

Cosy old working-class neighbourhood. Unfortunately, trouble with youngsters (antisocial) at supermarkets. Otherwise cosy, good contact with neighbours.

A real working-class neighbourhood

Cosy, everyone is there for each other. Houses are a bit on the old side, but that has its charm too. Lots of green spaces and schools. Plenty for children and everything nearby.

Great neighbourhood!

Het Soesterkwartier, but especially Rivierenwijk-Oost, is a great neighbourhood to live in! Only friendly neighbours who are always there for you. There is quite a lot of green in the neighbourhood, take for example the beautiful green belt. And with the renovation plans for the Noordewierweg, the heart of the neighbourhood, it will become even better. Accessibility is fine, you can get into the neighbourhood quickly, getting out a bit less quickly ;) You can be in the city centre or at the station in a few minutes, and in the neighbourhood itself you have all the facilities you need. Nice and good primary schools for every taste, Dalton education, regular or for highly gifted children. Secondary schools are (almost) all within half an hour's bike ride. And the 1930s houses complete it all.
