Venlo-Noord from the inside: lively, diverse and surprisingly close-knit
Those who don't know Venlo-Noord might think of an average peripheral neighbourhood. But residents describe something different. On the neighbourhood page for Venlo-Noord, they give the area an average of 7.2 out of 10, based on six reviews. That's not a glowing score, but the tone of the reviews is remarkably warm. Tom Stoffels writes: "I rarely experience a car driving too fast here, and I never hear anything bad from neighbours about burglaries or theft." The safety score of 7.5 fits with that. Jasmin, who has lived in the neighbourhood for over 23 years, is equally emphatic: "Everyone gets along with each other, we are all one as a neighbourhood." This sense of togetherness comes up in several reviews.
Accessibility scores the highest of all categories: an 8.7. That matches the location. Venlo-Noord borders directly on the city centre, and many residents describe the neighbourhood as within walking or cycling distance of the city, without the hustle and bustle of the centre. Maud puts it aptly: "Close to the city and within walking and cycling distance." The diversity in the neighbourhood is mentioned by several residents, and strikingly always positively. Different nationalities treating each other with respect is a recurring theme. Residents are less enthusiastic about green spaces (6.5) and education (6.3). Those with children who value a spacious green area right on their doorstep should take that into account.
Venlo-Noord consists of several sub-neighbourhoods, each with its own atmosphere.

Renting in Venlo-Noord: who is this suitable for, and who less so?
Venlo-Noord is a good choice for renters who want urban proximity without city-centre prices, and who value diversity and a sense of community. Single-person households are the largest group in the neighbourhood (over 2,000), so the social mix is broad. The average income is €29,700, slightly below the municipal average of €32,600, indicating this is not an exclusive neighbourhood. For families with young children who prioritise high education scores, or for those seeking plenty of green space around the corner, the neighbourhood is less obvious.

I experience a lot of safety here. Never felt like I had to watch out for my safety and the roads are nicely built. I rarely experience a car driving too fast here and I never hear anything bad from neighbours about burglaries or theft. You can easily chat with people on the street that you see often because they walk their dogs, and I was even helped once with my bike when the chain came off. It is generally clean, only sometimes there are extra bags of rubbish and furniture by the containers. Houses are fine, nothing to complain about. They all look neat inside and out. Internet works well, fibre optic and electricity never go out. There are many playgrounds. Walking opportunities along the Maas and several supermarkets within walking distance. Also several bus stops and a fitness centre. You can easily get there on foot, by bike or by car. There is only a secondary school in the neighbourhood.

Auto-translated to English by AII live in Genooi, which is in Venlo North. It's never boring here; everyone can laugh and cry together, it's as if we are all one. There are loads of supermarkets and other shops, it's close to the city, and there's plenty to do in the neighbourhood, literally. The only pity is that there isn't enough green space; the woods are closed because a company wants to build more things there, even though foxes roam around here.
Auto-translated to English by AIThe neighbourhood has a favourable location relative to the city, nature and amenities. The immediate neighbours are lovely. There is a lot of diversity in this neighbourhood, but it goes well together. Occasionally there is theft in the neighbourhood, which reduces safety. There is a staircase down to walk to the Maas and towards the city. I enjoy living here!
Auto-translated to English by AII've lived here for about 23 years now and never really had any complaints, everyone gets along, we're all one as a neighbourhood, truly wonderful here
Auto-translated to English by AILife here is fun, but I am not social with people because of my weak language skills in Dutch, as I am new here for a few months and haven't been to school yet, but I really enjoyed life in the Netherlands, and especially Venlo. I wish I had male and female friends and went out with them and talked to them. I have no one here, but I loved living here, everyone is kind and I have no problems with anyone, everyone is good and never does anything wrong.
