Landlust: from forgotten working-class neighbourhood to sought-after residential area
Anyone who talked about Landlust ten years ago would quickly get a raised eyebrow. The neighbourhood had a reputation. But anyone walking around there now sees a very different picture. Resident J.C. sums it up aptly: "This is a neighborhood that has improved a lot in the last 10 years. The buurt is quiet but still quite lively with a perfect combination of young professionals and families." This transformation is visible in the renovated housing blocks, the new hospitality businesses along the Jan Evertsenstraat and the growing range of shops and eateries. On the neighbourhood page of Landlust you can read all the resident reviews, including an average score of 7.0 out of 10.
What residents appreciate most is the combination of tranquillity and accessibility. With Erasmuspark and Westerpark within walking or cycling distance, green space scores a 7.8. Safety gets the same score. Resident Suzanna writes succinctly but powerfully: "Everything has been renovated. Quiet and safe neighbourhood." At the same time, there is also honest criticism. The score for housing is the lowest at 6.0, which has to do with the relatively small apartments and high rents. Education scores a 6.2. Resident James notes that Marcanti College struggles with inexperienced teachers, a point to consider if you have school-age children.
The neighbourhood consists of several areas, each with its own character. In Erasmusparkbuurt-Oost you live right next to the park, while Landlust-Noord and the southern part are closer to the Jan Evertsenstraat with all its amenities. Iancu, who has lived there his whole life, puts it this way: "There is plenty to do, just outside the centre so there are few tourists. People really live here." That liveliness without the hustle and bustle of the centre is exactly what many renters are looking for here. The Gibraltarbuurt and Bosleeuw offer a bit more peace and quiet, further from the busy traffic arteries.

Everything has been renovated. Quiet and safe neighbourhood
Auto-translated to English by AIThis is a neighborhood that has improved a lot in the last 10 years. The buurt is quiet but still quite lively with a perfect combination of young professionals and families. You can reach Oud-West and Jordaan in 5 minutes by bike. Walking distance to Erasmus-Park and Westerpak. Very hip and with a sense of community.
Auto-translated to English by AII've lived in this neighbourhood my whole life and it's fantastic! There's plenty to do, just outside the city centre so there are few tourists. People really live here, there are many parks nearby and plenty of amenities! House prices aren't great, but if you live here, I think this is one of the simplest yet nicest neighbourhoods in the city. I work in a bakery in the neighbourhood myself, so I see hundreds of people from the area every weekend; they're healthy and fun people. I'm very proud of my neighbourhood.
Auto-translated to English by AII have experienced violence but very little. I have lovely social neighbours, the people are kind. I have never experienced racism or discrimination in the neighbourhood. I gave a failing grade for Education because, for example, the Marcanti College next to the neighbourhood has only inexperienced teachers and rude students.
