Parking is a point of concern. Resident Dj writes: "you only notice that the neighbourhood is deteriorating, more rubbish is left on the streets and it is more restless in the evening. We also experience enormous parking pressure because everything around our neighbourhood has become paid parking and with us it hasn't." So parking pressure is a real problem that several residents recognise.
Resident Ymke describes the neighbourhood as "cosy and helpful in a top location" and emphasises the social cohesion: if something happens, neighbours help each other. Yet there are also signs that the neighbourhood is under pressure in some places.

If something is going on, the neighbours often want to help or offer a sympathetic ear! Actually, nothing really crazy ever happens in the neighbourhood, only people often drive too fast late at night. When the bins are full, all the residents report it and they are emptied quickly, which I personally find very nice. The neighbourhood and the residents keep the area very tidy and clean, I feel privileged to live in such a beautiful place.
Auto-translated to English by AIThe part where I live is very social, but you notice that the neighbourhood is deteriorating; more rubbish is left on the streets and it's more restless in the evening. We also experience enormous parking pressure because everything around our neighbourhood has become paid parking, but not here, even though we applied for it. The fact that there is a lot of greenery in our neighbourhood gives a nice feeling. Public transport is very good; you have access to bus, tram and train, making it easy to get anywhere. The motorway is also easily accessible.
