The subscores speak for themselves: safety scores a perfect 10, greenery also a 10. The latter is clearly visible in the neighbourhood itself. There is greenery in the streets, and the proximity of the Jagersveld and other green areas around the Rosmolenwijk means residents do not have to walk far for a stroll or a place for children to play.
