The streets are green with trees and parks, giving the neighbourhood a calmer feel than you might expect given its density.

Single-person households are the largest category (535 out of approximately 1,059 households), making the neighbourhood attractive for singles and first-time buyers. The average income is €30,800, slightly below the municipal average, which fits with the accessible rental level.

One resident writes on the Schiekamp-Zuid neighbourhood page: "It's just quiet and affordable here, ideal if you don't want too much hassle. But the homes are old and you notice that." That sums up the neighbourhood well: functional and accessible, but not modernised.
