Auto-translated to English by AIIn the few years we've lived here, nothing has happened and it's otherwise quite quiet here.
Auto-translated to English by AIReally a super nice neighbourhood. Everything nearby, so a train, shopping centre and schools.
Auto-translated to English by AIPleasant living environment with a shopping centre within walking distance. Lots of playgrounds and plenty of greenery. With the wantij around the corner and the adjacent green strip and wantijdijk, the surroundings are beautiful. The area is easily accessible, although parking for visitors is always a bit more challenging. Charging the electric car is also hopeless, especially because many neighbours still park their petrol cars at charging points. An additional drawback in terms of accessibility is the limited number of access roads, which can make it difficult to get off the estate when there is occasional freight traffic. Moreover, the access roads into the area are extremely busy during rush hour. There is often litter in the playgrounds and fields, mainly due to loitering youths. In addition, many scooters drive very fast on the cycle paths and the loswalweg. On that latter road, cars also regularly drive very fast with loud music. Most houses would benefit from a fresh coat of paint or a pressure wash of the facade. They are not the greatest architectural masterpieces anyway, but the street scene is deteriorating further because of this. Neighbours are generally friendly, although you really only have contact with the neighbours in your immediate vicinity.
