Residents appreciate the central location and accessibility, but sometimes criticise the state of public spaces and parking. On the neighbourhood page of Vossenberg you can read all reviews and neighbourhood data. One resident writes: "Everything is close by, the supermarket, the centre, the station. But the neighbourhood itself could use a bit more maintenance." That picture fits a neighbourhood that is functionally strong but does not make the most well-maintained impression visually.
Compared to neighbourhoods like Annabuurt en Suytkade, which has a more modern appearance due to redevelopment along the canal, Vossenberg is somewhat more traditional in character.
