Schuilenburg: a quiet neighbourhood with an older demographic and a cosy character

At the same time, the neighbourhood is not equally lively for everyone. Joram gives the neighbourhood a 7.6 but adds: "Friendly people who are happy to say hello, only they are all a bit on the older side." That matches the figures: the group of 65-plussers (920 people) is almost as large as the largest age group of 25 to 45 years (1,365 people). If you are looking for a vibrant social life with many peers in their twenties, you will find this less obvious here than in neighbourhoods like Eemkwartier or the Stadskern. The amenities score a 6.3, which is also somewhat lower, which residents attribute to a limited range of shops in the immediate vicinity.
