beautiful neighbourhood
Auto-translated to English by AINeat houses, everything is generally well maintained, shops, schools, pharmacy etc. are plentiful and easily accessible. There are many places for children to play. Unfortunately, the feeling of safety has been decreasing for me in recent years.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's a decent neighbourhood. A bit boring for young people, but you have everything you need, the basics are there. Schools, GP, pharmacy, shops. I personally really like the late-night shop. If you've forgotten something, which can happen, you still have that shop that's open until late, super handy. The residents here are mostly middle-aged, elderly, and religious people. Which makes the atmosphere a bit grey, I think. I prefer a smaller village, but here you are close to Rotterdam.
Auto-translated to English by AII've lived here since I was five and in my opinion this is a super cosy neighbourhood with almost only very friendly people who really involve you in the community. Also, everything is within walking distance or even easier by bike, which is very nice if you want to use the car less or don't have a car. There are always fun activities organised during holidays that bring the community together. In terms of education, there is a lot on offer with several primary schools in the area and the secondary school is called Krimpenerwaardcollege, but you could also go to two other secondary schools that are within cycling distance. There are several parks in the area and a large meadow, so if you like nature that's super nice. All in all, it's a very good neighbourhood and I would recommend it to anyone who is looking for a house to take a look here.
Auto-translated to English by AII've only just moved here, but my impression is: quiet and beautiful. It's a bit of a sleepy village, but supermarkets are a 5-minute bike ride away, which is very nice. In Krimpen there are two shopping centres, which I think is well organised. In addition, there are also individual shops here and there. Running opportunities could be better, especially in the dark and as a girl. For example, it's a few minutes' run before you reach an uninhabited area in a forest where you can run freely without cars, but in the evening there are no lights there. Which is a shame, because running in a neighbourhood with only cars and cyclists and other road users, and on uneven roads with loose stones, is not pleasant at all. For the rest, I live on a nice street in a very nice house with my parents.
Auto-translated to English by AII've only lived here for half a year and it's a fantastic neighbourhood. Neighbours keep in touch and help each other when needed. You can always come and borrow something, and you're offered help if things aren't going well. If you don't feel like talking, they don't think it's strange and leave you alone. In short, a very pleasant neighbourhood to live together in.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's a neighbourhood with many people, many people also cycle by and leave a lot of litter behind. The patch of grass on my street is no longer grass but a bush of shrubs that damage cars, and everyone drives too fast in my neighbourhood.
Auto-translated to English by AIResidents chat with each other, children can play safely on the street.
