Daily nuisance from cockroaches moroccans, this neighbourhood has changed into an antisocial abdoela neighbourhood since 4 years.
Auto-translated to English by AIFor 3 years, every vacant home was filled with Muslim parasites, the neighbourhood has turned into a third-world district, due to the obviously antisocial behaviour of these pigs. Time to leave this pathetic country! What an unimaginably godforsaken country this has become thanks to this imbecile government and the import of Abdullas. BAH
Auto-translated to English by AINowadays every vacant house is being filled by headscarves with 6 children, this is really turning into a dirty third world country. Vermin come here to "live" and have absolutely no respect for the residents. Stinking Moroccans are now calling the shots here too! What a horror to still live here!
Auto-translated to English by AIIt was a nice neighbourhood, until every empty house was filled with Abdouls! Within 1 year this has become a third world country municipality! Asocial Islam pigs who don't give a damn about anything! Stay away from here!
Auto-translated to English by AIVery bad, a lot of nuisance from abdoelas, antisocial behaviour, confronting them about this antisocial behaviour leads to aggression. In short, it has become a terrible neighbourhood to live in!
Auto-translated to English by AIThe Westerkoog neighbourhood is a green and accessible area. Trees are everywhere and there are plenty of parks. Especially the nearby polder Westzijderveld is a beautiful and unique area. Certainly for birdwatchers! Many different birds forage there. You can see, among others, the buzzard and the marsh harrier. With a bit of luck you can see the kingfisher. Via the Westerwindpad and the Schelpenpad you can walk or cycle to station Koog aan de Zaan. This station has a eatery. You can also pick up food there. By car you can easily get there. Parking is available, but limited. Free though. The shopping centre looks cosy and has various shops. You can park your car there for free. The neighbourhood is sufficiently clean and tidy. There are rubbish bins here and there. I find the safety there somewhat less. In the evenings it can be noisy due to groups of youngsters and scooter riders. The community is diverse: working-class, yuppies, families, elderly and young people. The housing is reasonable: flats, rental and owner-occupied homes. There are two primary schools. And you know what's so unique there: a boxing school for the youth! Right in the centre.
