Young families are fewer, although there is also a group of 535 children and young people under the age of fifteen. On the neighbourhood page for Groenewoud you will find resident reviews and detailed neighbourhood data. Residents particularly appreciate the peace and affordability compared to other neighbourhoods, but also point out the outdated street furniture and limited dining options in the immediate vicinity.
