N/A
Auto-translated to English by AII think it's a very cosy neighbourhood with very nice neighbours. It's also close to the city, which is nice, and there are schools here (the secondary school is a bit 'ghetto') and lots of nice playgrounds for the children. Apart from that, it's always a bit exciting to walk through Stedenwijk in the evening. I am very satisfied with this neighbourhood and certainly won't be leaving for the time being.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's very ugly, old and boring. Mostly old people and chavs, I do NOT feel safe here
Auto-translated to English by AII live in a quiet neighbourhood, hardly any nuisance, close to shops, park and playground. The municipality does a poor job of maintaining weeds, which gives it a neglected look. People cause litter because their bins are overflowing and it blows out due to wind, for example.
