Cosy

Traffic dangerous, people drive too fast and the street is narrow, two speed bumps would not be a luxury and speed control would not be out of place, but I have lived here for 46 years with great pleasure, the neighbourhood is cosy.

Ideal city life in Arnhem

Look, you have everything in the neighbourhood: schools, city centre, supermarkets, etc. It's a bit less cosy than some other neighbourhoods in Arnhem, but certainly not bad.

Mixed feelings

When I moved here it was a reasonably good neighbourhood! but my sense of safety was gone within a few months! Someone was murdered near my flat and a while ago a firework bomb exploded at a house in the street behind my flat! "Maybe more/often police on the street"?
