Auto-translated to English by AII've only lived there recently, but very quiet and green and nice people. All amenities within short distance.
Auto-translated to English by AII love living here, feel safe, shops nearby, nature close by, what more could one want.. great apartment, nicely finished, view. I'll grow old here
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's very cosy and close to the city. Shopping centre within walking distance.
Auto-translated to English by AII lived on Ringvaartweg. I found it a bit unsociable. I did have neighbours I could talk to across the street and a bit further down. The rest I hardly saw or spoke to. If I drove up in a new car, the whole neighbourhood was alert. You might find that nice for safety. I found it felt a bit strange. A couple of nice little lakes nearby, enjoyed skating there in winter. At the end of Ringvaartweg there's a station, so it's fairly easy to reach. I think the neighbourhoods around Ringvaartweg would have been nicer, although I didn't live there but of course often cycled and walked through them.
