Young families and twenty-somethings are less represented, although there are around 425 children under the age of 15.
Residents regularly describe the neighbourhood on the Venenlaan-kwartier neighbourhood page as quiet and green, with a pleasant, human scale. One resident writes that it is "just nice to live there, without any fuss." What comes back in reviews is the good accessibility of Hoorn city centre and the proximity of daily amenities, while the neighbourhood itself remains relatively quiet. Criticism sometimes focuses on the limited range of shops and catering establishments in the neighbourhood itself, and on the fact that the area sees little renewal. For those bothered by this, the Hoorn city centre offers more vibrancy within walking distance.

Renting in Venenlaan-kwartier: who is this suitable for, and who is it not?
Rental homes in Venenlaan-kwartier are most suitable for people seeking peace, space, and a stable living environment, and who are not dependent on a large private-sector supply. The average household income is €35,100, slightly below the Hoorn average of €36,000, but the private-sector prices of around €2,300 per month require a substantial income.

Starters looking for something quickly in the private sector, or people who need many urban amenities right on their doorstep, are less suited here.
