A residential area close to the city.

I haven't lived in this neighbourhood for very long yet. I've only been living in a new terraced house for a few years. But I like the neighbourhood.

Langestraat with many houses.

I live on a fairly busy street, from there you drive into the city centre. There are many student houses and there is a square with supermarkets, a gym and a GP practice around the corner. The city centre is also a 10-minute walk away, which is ideal. My school is also a ten-minute walk away, making it easy to arrive on time and still get a bit of a lie-in. The neighbourhood itself is inhabited mainly by students, but also families and singles. The people come from diverse backgrounds and cultures, which gives the neighbourhood a cosy undertone; there is a lot of interaction and people talk to each other well.

A peaceful neighbourhood

It's a very nice neighbourhood, everyone is considerate of each other and there's never really any arguments or anything like that. Our neighbourhood is always cleaned up properly, for example after New Year's Eve everyone neatly cleans up their own mess. That way the neighbourhood stays nice and clean. Maybe a few more plants in my neighbourhood
