On Buurtje.nl, the neighbourhood scores a 6.3 based on resident reviews. Accessibility stands out positively with a 9.5, safety gets a 7.5, and education and facilities are also reasonably appreciated with a 7.0. Residents are less enthusiastic about the greenery, the beauty of the neighbourhood and the mutual atmosphere. One reviewer describes it as follows: there is "a lot of hassle with neighbours" and also on the street he notices that conflicts between neighbours are not exceptional. About greenery he is brief: little nature, a lot of mess on the street, although fortunately there is still a park nearby. That park is the Weerwater or one of the smaller green strips that border the neighbourhood, but Seizoenenbuurt is not distinctly green.

The neighbourhood is divided into several sub-areas: Seizoenenbuurt Noord has a somewhat quieter character, while Seizoenenbuurt Oost and Seizoenenbuurt West each have their own atmosphere.

For whom is buying in Seizoenenbuurt a realistic option?
The neighbourhood mainly appeals to families and home-movers looking for space at a reasonable price compared to the Randstad. With an average selling price of over €512,000, this is no longer a starter neighbourhood, although the lower end of the market from €295,000 still offers entry opportunities. Keep in mind additional costs such as transfer tax (2% for homes above the starter exemption) and notary costs. If you are not yet sure whether buying is the right step, you can also look at rental homes in Seizoenenbuurt as an intermediate step. Be honest with yourself about the neighbourhood atmosphere: the reviews point to social tensions that not everyone is willing to accept.
