Living in De Kamp, Nijmegen
De Kamp is a quiet, green family neighbourhood on the southwest side of Nijmegen, part of the Lindenholt district. The streets are wide, with plenty of pavements, small parks and back gardens.

No spectacular architecture, but homes that are functional, well-maintained and have increased in value over the years.

Residents know each other, hold neighbourhood barbecues, have lunch together and set up activity committees.

Doing and organising things together." That is no exception: the resident score for community spirit stands at 8.4 out of 10, and the total score is a striking 8.6.

Auto-translated to English by AIOverall, the Kamp is perfectly fine, aside from a handful of incidents. I've lived here my whole life and have never felt unsafe—though I prefer not to walk through the Voorstenkamp unless necessary. I do notice that people don't greet each other as often when passing by. Perhaps that's due to my Brabant roots.
