Auto-translated to English by AIThere is a lot of greenery in Vinkhuizen. I find this important. In terms of shops and facilities, there is plenty available. However, as a woman, I don't go out on the street in the evening because things often happen in this neighbourhood.

How residents experience their district
There is always something to do. There are supermarkets and plenty of other shops, cafeterias, fresh bread from the bakery. Market once a week, a nice park with ponds for fishing.

Auto-translated to English by AIThe nearest bus stop is via line 8 and the frequency is only once every half an hour, which is annoying. The roads aren't smooth, there are potholes. But apart from that, the living experience is nice and peaceful, and the community I have is really nice! It could be more accessible through a closer bus stop and more frequent buses, and a grocery store nearby walking distance at least. The neighbourhood is relatively safe, but there have been thieves in the past year and break-ins. The neighbourhood is also relatively hygienic, and trash bins are easily accessible. Housing could be improved, more houses should be built. There is a park nearby so the green spaces are nice.
Auto-translated to English by AIDon't feel safe. Have been hit by fast bikes several times. In Diamandpark. Vinkhuizen. As a result, my dog now has a limp. When I tell them they should walk there, I get called whore slut and they even spit on you. They are all foreigners, sorry. The neighbourhood is a rubbish dump. They don't give a damn about us. This has to stop.

Auto-translated to English by AIWhen I moved here with my family 14 years ago, I never knew this would become my favourite neighbourhood. I immediately made friends and I enjoy spending time outside. Every summer, activities are organised in our block to maintain and strengthen our bonds. I can say that everyone who knows each other here is cool with one another.

Auto-translated to English by AIVery beautiful neighbourhood in Groningen. Lots of facilities such as various schools, gym, playgrounds and plenty of supermarkets and other shops. What is unpleasant is that there is often rubbish next to the bins. Furthermore, the neighbourhood has many nice small parks and you are within no time in a quiet natural environment where you can enjoy walking, running, cycling etc. All in all, this neighbourhood is perfect for students but also for families and other city dwellers.
