Rental homes in Horst, Horst aan de Maas

I give this neighbourhood a failing grade on several important aspects. Safety feels limited due to persistent nuisance and lack of supervision. The community is not close-knit; many residents move away quickly or pass away, resulting in little social cohesion. Hygiene leaves much to be desired. There is often rubbish on the streets and public spaces are poorly maintained. Housing is also of poor quality. Many homes are in bad condition, with deferred maintenance and conditions reminiscent of slums. Furthermore, the living environment is unpleasant due to constant noise pollution and air pollution. The lack of greenery and an attractive natural environment makes the neighbourhood even less pleasant to live in. All in all, this is an area where the quality of life is low and improvement is needed in many areas. Due to the poor living conditions, noise pollution and pollution, I recommend considering another neighbourhood. Avoid this area if you value peace, safety and a clean living environment.

I've been living here for 13 years now and I've actually never had any problems with the neighbours; it's always been pleasant. We help each other when needed in a difficult situation.

Far too much nuisance in this street and area. Too busy roads with noise pollution and stench. Loitering youths shouting their heads off, even at night. Playground with screaming kids, early in the morning, when you couldn't sleep at night due to other nuisance. Lots of loud music, parties weekly in the area, continuing late into the night. Stench of tar or similar from farmers, businesses. Difficulty breathing or airing out the house. Restaurant with many car visitors, also nuisance from exhaust fumes, slamming car doors, loud talking. The house is very poorly insulated. All in all, an enclave of extremely poor living. Neighbour nuisance doesn't help either, weird Dutch people and their rotten characters. It destroys you as a person. I'm already looking for something else. There is no peace here and no healthy green environment. This requires a total renovation which the municipality and landlord don't want to do, just milk the citizen and drop dead.

We live near the motorway, it's awful, the noise pollution and smell pollution. Also when I have to cycle along the motorway, I suffer from stinging eyes, possibly remnants of the motorway get into my eyes. Little to no greenery in the area, only stone. Those few patches of grass are useless to a person, you can't relax in this village. The centre has many problems with loiterers and people who want to rob you. Many drunk people walk around in the centre and the outskirts, you can see those people are not happy either. People with mental health issues also walk around. Homeless people rummage through the bins while they need shelter. This municipality does nothing for its citizens, only collects money and occasionally accommodates someone, but you can forget about living pleasure in this village. Whatever you report to the municipality about noise pollution, car nuisance, smell pollution, health nuisance, it goes in one ear and out the other. Only a judge can fix this if they would cooperate with empathy for your fellow man. My golden tip, don't come and live in Horst, but go live far away from the motorway and main roads, preferably in the greenery (where in the Netherlands?) with healthy air and peace. Only crazy people can stick it out here.

Quiet neighbourhood yet with all facilities and shops within walking distance. Lots of green and space. A large recreation and forest area 1 kilometre away, where there is even a nature trail. There are many playgrounds and equipment focused on outdoor play for children. There are several primary schools and a wide choice of secondary school communities. Horst also has a station, so after secondary education, further schools are easily accessible by public transport.
