Inside Presikhaaf-West: what residents say about living here
Living in Presikhaaf-West is not for everyone, and residents themselves say so honestly. On Buurtje.nl, the district scores a 7.1 out of 10, based on resident experiences. The scores vary considerably by theme: housing receives a notably high 8.1, education scores 7.8, and green spaces stand at 7.4. But safety remains a sore point with a 6.1. Resident Anita writes about mixed feelings: she enjoys living there because of the nearby shopping centre and sees people cleaning up litter, which she finds commendable. But her sense of safety quickly disappeared after a serious incident near her flat. She explicitly calls for more police on the streets. Another resident, Wilma, describes her apartment complex as pleasant and the neighbours as approachable and friendly, but also notes that the area can sometimes be restless.

I've been living here for over 2 years with pleasure! Nice neighbourhood with a shopping centre nearby. I regularly see people walking around cleaning up litter. Commendable!!
Auto-translated to English by AIWhen I moved here it was a reasonably good neighbourhood! but my sense of safety was gone within a few months! Someone was murdered near my flat and a while ago a firework bomb exploded at a house in the street behind my flat! "Maybe more/often police on the street"?
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's just normal, people are a bit odd though
Auto-translated to English by AIA very unsafe feeling!!! (can't get used to living in a flat and a WMO home it is not) and I would most like to leave as soon as possible!!
