A cosy neighbourhood with many amenities within easy reach.

I think Orden is a nice neighbourhood to live in; Ordenplein is nearby and there you have the most convenient and necessary shops. There are plenty of playgrounds for children and it's really cosy in the neighbourhood. In addition, there are primary schools in the area and also 2 secondary schools close to Orden. Safety is fine in itself in my opinion, but I do notice that when you cycle through Orden in the evening, for example, it gives a less safe feeling; I experience this myself because a few years ago there was a shooting of a random passer-by related to drug trafficking. I think the neighbourhood seems safer than it is, because I don't experience much trouble myself.
