De Bomenbuurt is located near the beautiful Bos Park with tennis courts and a nice petting zoo. There are many fun things in the neighbourhood, such as Avifauna, Winkelplein Baronie, a small harbour, and even DIY stores. De Bomenbuurt is very centrally located in Alphen aan den Rijn. So everything is quite close or within 10 minutes by bike. Nice area with many schools and shops and of course trees! There is a special neighbourhood, we call it the 'Molukker wijk', where mainly Moluccan people or Indo people live. A very pleasant and warm community.
Auto-translated to English by AII grew up there and have always been satisfied. I would never want to leave and have little to complain about.
Auto-translated to English by AIFriendly people, plenty of supermarkets in the area, few shops or nightlife options, for that you have to go to Alphen or big cities like Leiden or The Hague, and public transport regularly has problems.
Auto-translated to English by AII find the experience of the neighbourhood pleasant. I love multiculturalism and that's what it is here. You can find all sorts of things here. We have Islamic butchers and people mix well here in the neighbourhood. We've just had the renovation of shopping centre De Ridderhof and it looks tidy again. Nearby we also have a huge recreational area with a massive ditch, where you can rip, waterski, or take a forest walk. All in all, a nice neighbourhood. Nothing has ever happened to us here or have I felt unsafe, no, that's not an issue. Education is anyway poor if you have a child with multiple diagnoses who never gets help..
Auto-translated to English by AIFine neighbourhood with a nice park next to it. The apartments could do with renewal. And there are crimes and nuisance here every day. Accessibility is fine because there is a station 5 minutes from me. In terms of shops and facilities, there aren't many, there are 3 shops here. The houses are old.
Auto-translated to English by AISince I've lived here, about 13 years, the residents have become a bit less civilised. But it's safe, little police or anything in the streets, higher average age.
Auto-translated to English by AINeighbourhood with all ages, (I have said this about the community) many are in my opinion on their own, resulting in little interaction and cosiness in the neighbourhood. I think that if more activities were offered, there could be more interaction. For younger children there are several nice playgrounds, but for older ones there is actually nothing at all. Plenty of amenities, from train, school, supermarket, snack bar, hairdresser, dentist, sports hall all top in the neighbourhood. In the past, I felt there were more burglaries and car fires than now, which makes me feel that the neighbourhood has become safer.
