Close to playground, school and supermarket, child-friendly neighbourhood
Auto-translated to English by AISince April 2024, I have been a resident in a nice, modern apartment building. It's pleasant living with residents of all ages, a true reflection of society. Amenities are easily accessible, whether on foot, by bike, or by car. There is ample parking, and in the evenings the area is very well lit. That gives a safe feeling. The building is located next to the Ravelijn. The through road is busy, but it brings life to the neighbourhood. There is also a bus stop for those who want to travel by public transport. The renovated park is within walking distance. The green spaces are beautifully landscaped and well maintained. In short, I am a very satisfied resident.
Auto-translated to English by AIIn the Orchideestraat in Steenbergen, a neighbourhood library with good food and drinks would be welcome so that we can also exchange and use things at night, as well as a mini library with CDs, DVDs, books and games in the area to exchange and use. So if the municipality of Steenbergen still has too much money, like in that park on the Ravelijnstraat, they could spend it on that.

As long as Jackson gets told off, the municipality thinks Orchideestr19 murdered her mother. At Orchideestraat 13, we are not allowed to clean the windows, and they interfere with our belongings, wanting everything to go to the Kringloopwinkel Blauwstraat. We don't want that ourselves.
