It's a decent neighbourhood. But there are definitely downsides. For example, the fatbike youths who keep honking in the evening. Also, it's not very friendly towards LGBTQ+ in the community. Businesses are no problem, but people are. On the other hand, there is a lot of greenery and it's mostly well-maintained. There's also a forest in the neighbourhood and a bit further Berkendonk, which is lovely. A shopping centre and train station within walking distance are also very nice.
