Auto-translated to English by AIA wonderfully quiet neighbourhood where people are friendly to each other, but don't constantly drop in on one another. You have shops for daily necessities around the corner, a large park for walking or exercising, letting the dog run, and letting the owners strike up a conversation. By bike you can quickly go in all directions through back streets; through traffic goes far around the neighbourhood. Sports fields are within walking distance. There is hardly any nuisance from others. The neighbourhood is well maintained by both residents and the municipality. Is the neighbourhood really that perfect? Yes! Of course there is a sourpuss here and there, but they hardly get the chance to vent their venom. Where in the Netherlands do you find a street-strip-o-theek? Here in De Zoom. Strip albums, a cupboard full to get people off their phones and reading again. A neighbourhood where people still greet each other and smile at each other.
Auto-translated to English by AIWhen I first moved here it felt like a holiday, getting to know the neighbours took a while but over the years I now fit in well, except for a few, but I don't take that too seriously because there are anonymous complainers who don't bother to get to know us either. I enjoy the peace and the surroundings and those who help me or whom I can help. It's nice to keep an eye on each other in a positive way and respect each other. The neighbourhood is well maintained and if something could be better, it's pointed out. There are quite a lot of schools nearby, children can entertain themselves reasonably well. If you like meadows and water, you'll live here quite nicely.
Auto-translated to English by AIThe neighbourhood is okay but not right, finding a new house in the neighbourhood will be difficult because of the refugees, and the bus line here doesn't run 9 out of 10 times, public transport is not okay
