Nice neighbourhood, but not much contact with people outside the street. A neighbourhood party or things like that would be nice.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's a fine neighbourhood, especially Parkwijk Zuid, only the surrounding neighbourhoods are less safe and comfortable. It's also very difficult to get a house.
Auto-translated to English by AIResidents are only concerned with themselves. They just dump their waste next to the units meant for the apartments. The single-family homes have their own waste bins, but they prefer not to use them. This has led to rats. The municipality does nothing more for the greenery than just mowing the grass. Hanging out youth who smoke weed in the hallway of the apartment complex. It is unsafe, there have been many robberies, street muggings, bombs at houses. The advantage is that AH is nearby and public transport is great.
