On the neighbourhood page of Heiloo-West you can read what residents themselves think, including scores per category such as safety, green spaces and atmosphere. Residents often describe the neighbourhood as quiet and child-friendly, with good neighbours and little nuisance. A frequently heard criticism is the limited walking distance to shops and the lack of vibrancy for younger residents.
