Quiet and beautiful part of Amsterdam

It's a nice quiet neighbourhood on the edge of the city but still close to many good amenities that a city has to offer. The neighbourhood is still becoming more beautiful.

Ruined

The residents are antisocial, no one keeps the neighbourhood tidy, the gardens are used as dog walking spots, a shame but this neighbourhood has deteriorated extremely.
