I live in a child-friendly, pleasant street with lots of greenery. There is social control and neighbours talk to each other... Occasionally people drive too fast in the street (30 km zone), but that gets called out! If there is a problem with one of the neighbours or help is needed, agencies or the police are called. So, a nice neighbourhood!
Auto-translated to English by AII've been living on the industrial estate with another friend for a few days. We feel safe, but that's only because no one comes here who has no business being here. Additionally, I must say there is very little greenery in the neighbourhood, which I think is a shame. It's also important for the municipality of IJsselstein to green the industrial estates. There are quite a lot of them in IJsselstein.
Auto-translated to English by AILet's start by saying that this is an industrial estate with few homes. I have one of the 4 houses on the street. There is little greenery on the industrial estate. However, the neighbours are very friendly and I feel at home in the neighbourhood.
Auto-translated to English by AIWe were the first residents and have lived here since 1989. It's a cosy neighbourhood with young and older residents. Everyone is up for a friendly chat and we help each other when needed. This is not common anymore these days. The amenities are also fantastic. Shopping centre within walking distance, the tram nearby and schools around the corner. Just step out of the street and I can let the dog run free and find myself in a beautiful landscape close to home.

Auto-translated to English by AIPeople look out for each other, but the "nightlife" is becoming increasingly criminal.
Auto-translated to English by AIWe've been living here for 2 years now, really enjoying it. Nice view over lots of green. Lovely walking opportunities with plenty of green and water, also great the fruit orchards where you can pick freely. Very nice historic centre within walking distance, as are the supermarkets. Everything is well maintained.
