NeighbourhoodThis listing does not state a house number, postcode, property type, floor area, year of construction or energy label.

Auto-translated to English by AIit's a nice neighbourhood, right next to Vroesepark! In my opinion, there's not much to do for young people, for that you have to go to the city centre.
