In my opinion, Prinsejagt is a nice neighbourhood to live in. It is relatively quiet for an urban area. The biggest plus is the park that surrounds the neighbourhood. Especially if, like us, you live not far from the green areas. An advantage of this is that you can more easily tell your children the area where they are allowed to play alone. As long as they stay within the main roads (Oude Bosschebaan, 1e Lieven de Keylaan and Huizingalaan), it is a safe neighbourhood. There are also disadvantages. The chosen tree species are not optimal. Roots cause problems and in summer the cars get sticky. Also, the shopping area is uninspiring. There is a Jumbo, a sushi place, a chip shop, a hairdresser, but overall it is not a nice place to spend time. Another disadvantage, and this is very personal, is the big difference in types of people. From sweet (older) people to, let's say, less well-mannered individuals.
