Of the more than 3,900 homes in Venlo-Noord, 42% are owner-occupied.

I experience a lot of safety here. Never felt like I had to watch out for my safety and the roads are nicely built. I rarely experience a car driving too fast here and I never hear anything bad from neighbours about burglaries or theft. You can easily chat with people on the street that you see often because they walk their dogs, and I was even helped once with my bike when the chain came off. It is generally clean, only sometimes there are extra bags of rubbish and furniture by the containers. Houses are fine, nothing to complain about. They all look neat inside and out. Internet works well, fibre optic and electricity never go out. There are many playgrounds. Walking opportunities along the Maas and several supermarkets within walking distance. Also several bus stops and a fitness centre. You can easily get there on foot, by bike or by car. There is only a secondary school in the neighbourhood.

Auto-translated to English by AII live in Genooi, which is in Venlo North. It's never boring here; everyone can laugh and cry together, it's as if we are all one. There are loads of supermarkets and other shops, it's close to the city, and there's plenty to do in the neighbourhood, literally. The only pity is that there isn't enough green space; the woods are closed because a company wants to build more things there, even though foxes roam around here.
Auto-translated to English by AIThe neighbourhood has a favourable location relative to the city, nature and amenities. The immediate neighbours are lovely. There is a lot of diversity in this neighbourhood, but it goes well together. Occasionally there is theft in the neighbourhood, which reduces safety. There is a staircase down to walk to the Maas and towards the city. I enjoy living here!
Auto-translated to English by AII've lived here for about 23 years now and never really had any complaints, everyone gets along, we're all one as a neighbourhood, truly wonderful here
Auto-translated to English by AILife here is fun, but I am not social with people because of my weak language skills in Dutch, as I am new here for a few months and haven't been to school yet, but I really enjoyed life in the Netherlands, and especially Venlo. I wish I had male and female friends and went out with them and talked to them. I have no one here, but I loved living here, everyone is kind and I have no problems with anyone, everyone is good and never does anything wrong.
