On the neighbourhood page for Waardhuizen Middenhoven, residents rate the neighbourhood an 8.0 out of 10. Resident Giovanni sums it up succinctly: "I think it's a very nice neighbourhood to live in. Everything is just good." That may sound unspectacular, but it says a lot. Accessibility (9.0) and amenities (9.0) score the highest. The neighbourhood is close to the A9, several bus routes cross the area, and Middenhoven shopping centre offers daily groceries. Education scores an 8.0, which is logical given the presence of several primary schools in neighbourhoods such as Beroepenbuurt and Molenbuurt. Green spaces and safety both score 8.0: Meanderpark and the water features around Punterbuurt give the neighbourhood a green appearance.

Where it scores slightly lower is on community (7.0) and beauty (7.0). The architecture is typical 1970s and 1980s: functional, not particularly attractive. Social cohesion exists, but is less self-evident than in a small village. In neighbourhoods such as Galjoenbuurt and Hemellichamenbuurt, you will find a bit more variety in housing types, from single-family homes to porch flats. For those seeking a livelier street scene, the nearby Stadshart is a more logical choice.
