Nice neighbours, good contact, safe location, beautiful square
Auto-translated to English by AIThe neighbourhood is usually very clean, but contact among residents is somewhat limited. There is a lot of social control through a neighbourhood app where we communicate in unsafe situations or ask questions. There are few facilities for young people or nightlife spots, so all the young people just stay at home or go to Alkmaar. This could be much better.

There are also many parks to walk your dog if needed. 2 primary schools and plenty of nice playgrounds.
