Auto-translated to English by AIPleasant neighbourhood to live in. Many amenities within walking distance and you're quickly out of Enschede. However, there is a lot of litter which attracts rats. The neighbourhood also floods regularly. The shopping centre is a 10-minute walk away and therefore very close. There is also plenty of greenery, which enhances the appearance.
Auto-translated to English by AIThe nice thing about the neighbourhood is that there are many shops nearby. In addition, a number of things have been improved recently, such as more greenery in the area and the demolition of very old houses. But there is often a lot of rubbish on the street, which attracts many rats. I see them regularly. Also, there is quite often a lot of noise in the street, for example scooters constantly racing back and forth along the Rembrandtlaan. Furthermore, I don't always feel safe because there are often people 'hanging around' on the street that I don't feel very comfortable with, for example because they seem tipsy/drunk. Also, the drainage in the area is not very good. When it has rained, large puddles immediately form on the street. The pavement on the Rembrandtlaan is also very poor: many tiles are loose.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt is a quiet neighbourhood. The motorway is easily accessible and the city centre is a 10-minute drive away. Also good connections with public transport.
