Filmwijk: small beach, Vomar and a neighbourhood where you say hello
On the Filmwijk neighbourhood page, residents rate the neighbourhood an 8.2 out of 10. That is a decent score, but behind that average lie very different experiences. What stands out: green spaces score the highest at 8.6, and accessibility (8.4) and amenities (8.4) are also appreciated. The neighbourhood is close to the centre, the Flevoziekenhuis hospital and the beach at the Weerwater. Resident Marga, who lives in a flat by the small beach, sums it up succinctly: "Good neighbourhood, respect for each other, saying hello, helping people. Good location, close to the centre and hospital." She gives the neighbourhood a 9.1.
That social character comes up more often. Several residents mention the friendly neighbours, looking out for each other and the willingness to help. At the Vomar supermarket in the neighbourhood, there are often young people, but even there the experiences are mostly positive: "If you greet them, they greet you back," writes one resident. The largest age group is 45 to 65 years (over 3,000 residents), but with 1,875 households with children and about 1,475 young people between 15 and 25, it is certainly not an ageing neighbourhood. Education scores an 8.2, which fits the family-friendly character.
Yet the picture is not the same everywhere. Amanda from Filmwijk Noord gives a 6.1 and writes that her neighbourhood "has deteriorated enormously in terms of safety," with nuisance from homeless people, litter and noise pollution. She emphasises that this is not caused by the residents themselves, and mentions the proximity of shops and public transport as plus points. That difference between the north and the rest of the neighbourhood is something to bear in mind. The quieter parts, such as the central area or the neighbourhoods around Lumièrepark, generally have a different character than the northern part, which is closer to the city centre.
