Yet it is not all roses. Long-term resident Joost, who has lived in the neighbourhood for twenty years, points to a downside: there is a certain internal division. "If you walk out of one street, people see someone else as inferior because they live in a different neighbourhood," he writes. He also reports an increase in car theft over the years. Hoekeindse Zoom consists of several sub-neighbourhoods with their own identity, including Bomenbuurt, De Tuinen, Merenveld and Molenbuurt. This variation makes it worthwhile to search specifically within the neighbourhood, as the atmosphere can clearly differ per area.

Those who commute daily rely on the car or bus. The average income in the neighbourhood is €41,300, slightly below the municipal average of €45,500, and the labour participation rate is 68%. The neighbourhood mainly attracts families and people between 45 and 65 years old, which explains its quiet and social character.

The Bomenbuurt is a fine neighbourhood in Bleiswijk. I have lived here for 20 years now, but over the years there have been more and more reports of car theft. I don't know about burglaries. There are many different sub-neighbourhoods. For example, if you walk out of one street, people quickly see someone else as lesser because they live in a small apartment or a flat-roofed house. There are many neighbourhood communities or more street communities. It is a nice neighbourhood to live in. In terms of greenery, it's okay; it borders the Rottemeren area, but in the neighbourhood itself there is only a small patch of green and for the rest some 1980s steel playgrounds that are dated. More greenery could certainly be added. More trees should be planted. These facilities are so-so.
Auto-translated to English by AII haven't had any bad experiences in the neighbourhood, and a lot is done for the children, like extra playgrounds, so I'm very satisfied with that. It's also clean and there are enough waste containers in the area. All in all, a very nice neighbourhood.
Auto-translated to English by AII think it's quite a quiet little village, I also feel safe here. The only downside is that there is still quite a bit of street litter on the ground. I think the forest is really beautiful too.
