Not cosy.

A real village. Where you can't get in as an outsider. Such a shame.

Nice neighbourhood

Nice neighbourhood to live in, but not safe; in a 30 km zone they drive through the street at 85 km and nothing is done about it. Our fire escape is so dark in the evening that you feel unsafe because you can't see if someone is walking or looking inside. Most residents would like lighting on the path for safety. Because they no longer dare to go into the garden in the evening. Regards Sandra

Although the homes have been renovated, not to full satisfaction. It has also caused the sense of community and contact with neighbours to disappear. Previously, you could sit comfortably on the gallery on nice days, but due to the renovation, the galleries are a good 25 cm narrower, so sitting outside is no longer an option. There is a balcony at the rear, but with warmer temperatures it is unbearable there. Some activities are organised, but residents are no longer interested because vandalism has regularly occurred. The older youth are bored and that leaves traces. There are also frequent illegal activities. A real shame for a beautiful neighbourhood.

Great to live in

The neighbourhood organises various things for connecting older people and there is also a nursery school, which also does a lot.
