Living in Bemmel: village character with mixed experiences

Ceciel (4.2/10) lived there for 22 years and saw the neighbourhood decline: "Initially a fairly green neighbourhood, later almost no green." This is reflected in the low green score of 5.2. Monique (5.1/10) complains about overdue green maintenance and parking problems on her street. So the picture is mixed and depends heavily on which part you choose.

Auto-translated to English by AIIt is a self-contained neighbourhood. There is direct and personal contact with only a few people. But overall, there is a pleasant atmosphere.
Auto-translated to English by AILived there for 22 years, the neighbourhood kept getting worse. Initially a reasonably green neighbourhood, later no greenery at all. Took children out of school due to lack of proper follow-up lessons and unsafety.
Auto-translated to English by AIThe Indonesië buurt is currently getting a lot of attention. They currently want to have the sole right in my neighbourhood. Very mixed. And many cars from my back neighbour on the street because he works at a garage nearby. Green spaces are poorly maintained. Hygiene is also not pleasant. Accessibility is also poor, especially with the new construction in the neighbourhood.
Auto-translated to English by AIVery quiet and cosy neighbourhood. People keep an eye out when you're away and your packages have arrived. Everyone is so friendly and you're always greeted with a good morning or good afternoon. Very natural and calming.
