Busy road with beautiful houses.

We say hello when you pass each other, but otherwise nobody really bothers with each other. Everyone does their own thing. It usually feels safe, but sometimes strange things happen, like license plates being stolen from several cars in the neighbourhood. On weekends, rowdy people cycle by after a night out in the city, and on evenings when AZ plays, people cycle by with football scarves and later you can faintly hear the football sounds outside. The Albert Heijn within walking distance is nice and the butcher 't Smithe is fantastic!

Top neighbourhood, one of the few areas where there are still real neighbours. No crime, quiet but still cosy. Just perfect.

That's it, cheers!

Cosy

It's a cosy neighbourhood with lots of young families with children. Ideal for a side job: babysitting!
