I've been living in Winschoten-Noord for years and it's lovely here. There are many parks nearby for nice walks with the dog and the children. The amenities are also in good order: schools, supermarket and a good connection to both the centre and Blauwestad. A few more charging points could be installed, but we can't complain in this neighbourhood. I also always feel safe.

Auto-translated to English by AIThe neighbourhood is located on the main road and within a short distance of all shops and opposite the beautiful forest! That makes up for a lot!
Auto-translated to English by AISuper good safe community. Hygiene is taken seriously here and the municipality provides a lot of information. Education is good, many schools. Secondary and for children. More houses are being built all the time, but they do stay away from nature, so that's a given. Everything is also easily accessible and there are many supermarkets.
Auto-translated to English by AIVery good. Never had any problems, lots of consideration for the children and enough schools in the area. All the important supermarkets that are easily accessible and a nice shopping centre. The houses are safe and more are being built all the time.
Auto-translated to English by AINice new village with both detached houses, semi-detached houses, terraced houses and apartments. Nice peninsulas. Living by the water. Lots of recreational opportunities. A supermarket is still missing. And a nice pub.
Auto-translated to English by AIIn my neighbourhood there are mainly social housing units. I clearly see the difference between people with low incomes and those with average incomes. It doesn't always feel safe to walk on the street, and a football cage a few metres from my house doesn't help either. I have to cycle past it and I'm not always spoken to kindly. Nine times out of ten there are rough youngsters into hardcore and such. The houses in this neighbourhood don't look their best either. People often have a huge mess in their garden and house. We haven't been home for a while, so me saying this is hypocritical. But that's been sorted for a long time now. People always leave their dog poop lying around. Also, everyone knows each other. We don't have a relationship with our neighbours, mainly because they're just chavs. That's why they're not always very nice to us. Furthermore, the walls here are paper-thin. So you can always hear people talking in the other house. Not word for word, of course. You can also hear people climbing the stairs. The types of people walking around here are always the same. We have at least three drug dealers living in the courtyard. Every now and then we see a deal happening. Then strange cars drive onto the parking lot and they get in, just like on TV. The bins aren't safe either. We try to remove them from the road as soon as they've been emptied. We've had it before that our bin disappeared or that people throw their rubbish in it while it's by the road. As I type this, I realise where I live hahahaha.
