Residents on the Herten neighbourhood page give the area an average of 7.9 out of 10. Green spaces score highest with a 9.0, followed by safety and education, both 8.5. One resident describes the neighbourhood as a place with "very nice people", although mention is also made of a family causing nuisance and neighbours who dare not address them.

For sports, football club Herten is active, and the green spaces around the neighbourhood, including the banks of the Maas, invite walking or cycling. The dog walking area near Gulickerweg is avoided by some residents due to litter on the adjacent green strips, something that comes up in reviews.
