Auto-translated to English by AII live here so I think it's a nice place. There are many children and you can easily entertain your child at the playground of the Zonnebloemschool or in the woods; the Bosjes van Pex. There you have the riding school De Wildhoef, HBS, Quick and many more clubs and sports associations. It's a nice neighbourhood, there are many animals, lots of greenery and it's a sporty neighbourhood. You know almost everyone here and it's a nice community. Both child and parent enjoy themselves in de bloemenbuurt!

Auto-translated to English by AICould be better. Had some trouble with neighbours recently because I grow cannabis
Auto-translated to English by AII live opposite a school playground, which is very nice for the children to play outside. The Fahrenheitstraat is close for practically everyone, and there are also various sports clubs in the neighbourhood. There is a super fun Halloween party every year, and the EBA (an organisation for the Aucubastraat, Egelantierstraat and Berberisstraat) is great.
Auto-translated to English by AIIn my experience, I've lived in the neighbourhood for a long time, but it doesn't take long to get to know people. This is partly due to the Fahrenheitstraat, where you might run into neighbours and other people from the area, so you get to know them quickly. Being alone is also possible, of course; you can enjoy nature in the park near the Albert Heijn or take a walk on the Ieplaan. You can also easily walk your dog here, as there are many trees in the neighbourhood (which matches the name ;)). The neighbourhood is always taken care of, including after festivals on the Fahrenheitstraat that generate a lot of mess. However, a downside is that there is often uncollected dog poop on the pavement, but this eventually gets cleaned up (partly by other residents). The Bomenbuurt is very centrally located, so you can easily get to Scheveningen, the city centre, and several schools to choose from. The amenities are therefore virtually endless. I hope to see you soon if you also come to live in the neighbourhood; good luck!
