Auto-translated to English by AICosiness and easy to get everywhere like the motorway, the mall, everywhere. It's a reasonably quiet neighbourhood except on New Year's. View of the Vliet is beautiful and for the rest I'm happy with my spot.
Auto-translated to English by AIGreat neighbourhood to live in (with a family). Easily accessible due to its favourable location near the motorway, but also plenty of options to travel to surrounding cities by public transport. In recent years, many redevelopments have taken place within Damcentrum, which has greatly improved the area. Both in terms of facilities and public space.
Auto-translated to English by AII'd rather never leave here. The atmosphere is great. Accessibility is top-notch. Close to the mall too. It's just a really nice neighbourhood.
