Beautiful living environment

Safe feeling in the neighbourhood

A friendly, quiet, green neighbourhood.

The area feels safe and familiar. Lots of greenery, the public green spaces are properly maintained. Close to shops, the centre and main roads. Downsides are public transport. A 20-minute walk, which is difficult for the elderly. Also the lack of a waste container in the senior neighbourhood.

A good neighbourhood

Nice people as long as you don't go down the wrong streets. Furthermore, the secondary schools are bad. I don't feel like the students are looked after much and it's not very hygienic there.

A great neighbourhood

It's a nice neighbourhood. There are often fun activities or organisations run by the residents themselves, like Halloween trick-or-treating or neighbourhood parties. Most people are also sociable and friendly. There aren't many houses available, which is a shame.

Mixed between okay and good

My neighbourhood is okay. It depends on where you go. The street where I live is nice, I'm not very social with the neighbourhood people myself, but the contact with the neighbours is good. Also every Halloween we have a trick or treat party where people of all ages can dress up and go door to door! It's nice to see that it gets more creative every year. The education is not the best. From what I heard from friends who were in secondary school, it could be more organised. But the primary school is fun :D. The hygiene is fairly okay, you do see some mess but much less than if you look in Utrecht.

Quiet

I don't talk to the neighbours very much, but it's quite quiet here. It's opposite the station and the city centre is a 10-minute walk away. Supermarkets are around the corner, there is a health centre and a childcare facility. Overall, I am very satisfied with the neighbourhood.

Pleasant

The neighbourhood is centrally located. You're quickly in the city, school or sports facilities. The station and shops are just around the corner. I feel safe and relaxed here. The neighbourhood itself isn't very social, but a greeting is still possible.
