Living in Industriewijk 't Plaveen, Huizen
The name says it all: Industriewijk 't Plaveen is not your average residential neighbourhood. The neighbourhood borders the harbour area of Huizen and has a mixed character, with residential streets that lie directly next to businesses, workshops and through traffic. This gives the neighbourhood its own atmosphere, but also brings concrete disadvantages that residents mention. Michelle writes: "People drive incredibly fast through the neighbourhood. I don't dare let my children play freely. Lots of work vans and lorries drive through our street to make the route to the Havenstraat easier." She also describes the neighbourhood as often unhygienic, with a lot of litter and blocked drains. That is no small matter if you are considering renting a home here.
Yet there are also positive sides. Samantha describes the atmosphere as cosy and emphasises that the people are friendly. The neighbourhood has a resident score of 6.4 out of 10, based on two reviews. Safety scores notably high at 8.0, while cleanliness (4.5) and green spaces (5.5) are the weakest points. That picture matches the industrial character of the area.

Cozy atmosphere
Auto-translated to English by AIThe neighbourhood is often dirty. There's a lot of rubbish and the drains are regularly blocked. People drive extremely fast through the neighbourhood. I don't dare let my children play freely. Many work vans and trucks drive through our street to make the route to Havenstraat easier. Because the industrial estate borders our residential area, there is almost never any parking space for us residents. The garage that is there parks its cars in our neighbourhood because it can no longer accommodate them itself. There is also a gym where all members park in the neighbourhood. As a result, we often have to walk far to get to our homes. The neighbourhood is not child-friendly due to the heavy traffic and there is little to do. There is a playground but they cannot go there safely. It would be ideal if there were one-way traffic. And more rubbish bins.
