Friendly residents, tidy surroundings and well-maintained infrastructure
Auto-translated to English by AIVery ordinary neighbourhood, nothing interesting about it. About 1 playground, and for the rest only houses. That was pretty much it. It is very safe though, nothing has ever happened here as far as I know. Hygiene is also good, no litter on the streets. The house is well located and accessibility is also good, you get to the roundabout on Rijen, turn right and tada, you're on the Pothof. There are 0 schools in my own neighbourhood, so that could be better in my opinion. There aren't really enough trees, plants, etc., which in my opinion makes it just a bit bare. And there are 0 amenities on the Pothof, outside the Pothof of course.
