Living in Noord: a multicultural neighbourhood with good transport links and a few rough edges
Noord is a densely populated, mixed urban neighbourhood with over 6,700 residents. The largest group of residents is between 25 and 45 years old, but families with children and older people are also well represented.

Multicultural, families and many elderly people. Always people on the street, usually quiet."

Green spaces (6.0) and cleanliness (5.2) score significantly lower, and this is something several residents point out.

All resident experiences and neighbourhood data are collected on the neighbourhood page of Noord.

Accessibility is one of Noord's strongest assets. Residents themselves emphasise this: "Lively neighbourhood with arterial roads in all directions." The A16 and A15 are quickly reachable, and via the N3 you are in Dordrecht within minutes. Bus connections to the centre of Zwijndrecht and Dordrecht station run regularly.

Quiet, but rather messy, a lot of litter.
Auto-translated to English by AISchoolchildren make the whole neighbourhood dirty, stab each other with knives, walk around shopping centres during school hours and harass people who want to go about their own business. I am a racist and most of the schoolchildren and young people who do that are either Somalis, Moroccans or Syrians. As for schools, there are a few that keep it tidy, but more the public ones with all those foreign schoolchildren make the neighbourhood unsafe, dirty and uninhabitable. The train station is central and you can travel quickly. What could be improved: keep the schoolchildren in school during school hours; if they don't come, then don't come, but don't give them another chance. In terms of safety, more cameras and more police on the street.
