cosy and involved

Cosy neighbourhood, know everyone, help each other where necessary and it's a clean and tidy neighbourhood. The only downside is that there is no education in the area, you have to travel further.

An extremely quiet neighbourhood where change is needed for activities with the youth

Waalwijk is very quiet, sometimes too quiet. Although you often have burglaries or sometimes a robbery, not much happens to the ordinary citizen and it is certainly not unsafe to go out with your family even in the evening. One thing that needs to change is that it is too quiet. There are no parties for young people anywhere in Waalwijk, while you certainly long for that during your teenage years.

A piece of shit

I live in an industrial estate, there isn't enough public transport, none at weekends, and it takes me an hour to walk to the centre.
