Auto-translated to English by AII have been living on Seringenstraat for three years. I find it pleasant to live here. I have a nice house with a garden. I am sometimes really amazed at how quiet it is here. I have good contact with the neighbourhood. It's nice that everyone leads their own life, unlike in the apartment complex Het Ketelhuis where I lived for seven years and there was always interference and control from and by fellow tenants.
Auto-translated to English by AII like living here. I only miss a train station. And there are often groups of teenagers in the neighbourhood who think they are above the law. But otherwise I am more than satisfied. We are close to the supermarket, the forest and the bus station!
Auto-translated to English by AIEverything about it is good, but there should be more trees
Auto-translated to English by AIThere are a lot of loitering youths, who also hang around in our apartment complex, otherwise it's quite cosy, everyone chats with each other
