Residents rate the neighbourhood a 7.0 on Buurtje.nl. Accessibility scores the highest at 7.9, and that is not surprising. Station Maarssen is within cycling distance, bus line 121 connects the neighbourhood to Utrecht Central, and via the A2 you are on the Utrecht ring road within ten minutes. This makes Maarssenbroek popular with commuters. Green space scores a 7.2: there are various parks and water features, especially in neighbourhoods like Reigerskamp and Zwanenkamp, and the Maarsseveense Plassen area is nearby for an afternoon by the water.
But there are also clear drawbacks. The beauty score is the lowest at 6.0, and the community score (6.9) shows that the social fabric is not equally strong everywhere. Resident Sven Maertens writes about Kamelenspoor: "During the day a very nice neighbourhood, everyone greets each other politely. But in the evening everything changes, because a lot of loitering youths come onto the street." Another resident mentions nuisance from fatbikes. At the same time, there are also positive comments: a resident with an 8.4 writes about "good social control, many amenities in the immediate vicinity" and lives there "with great pleasure". So the experience varies per neighbourhood. In Fazantenkamp and Boomstede the atmosphere is generally quiet, while parts of the Spoor area have more activity.

Nuisance from fatbikes
Auto-translated to English by AIKamelenspoor is generally a very nice neighbourhood to live in, especially during the day. Everyone greets each other politely and respects the norms and values of others in the area. This gives a safe and pleasant feeling. Only in the evening everything changes, because a lot of loitering youth come onto the street, causing nuisance in dark spots, making those spots feel unsafe at night. Furthermore, it's a shame that more and more rental houses are appearing in the neighbourhood; this brings different ethnicities, which can sometimes clash a bit, which is of course unfortunate. I would also like to see more nature here, because now there are a few patches of grass and some trees, so a bit more green space would be nice. The housing is fine here, it's just a shame that as soon as you step out the door you can immediately look into someone else's garden or be looked into yourself; you never really have privacy. Otherwise, it's really a nice and cosy neighbourhood.
