For families with children, De Kooistee has clear advantages. The largest age group consists of 25 to 45-year-olds (2,420 residents), and households with children are the most common living situation. Schools are nearby, and shops are within walking distance. That same Carin honestly adds that there could be more for young people to do. The score for amenities (5.5) and beauty (6.5) confirm this: the neighbourhood is functional and green, but not particularly lively or visually appealing. Anyone looking for a vibrant nightlife or a broad cultural offering will not find it here.
