Auto-translated to English by AIThere is little contact with each other, nothing is organised in the neighbourhood. I find this a shame.
Auto-translated to English by AIMixed neighbourhood with some problems here and there. Greenery could be better but should also be done together with the neighbourhood. We don't really experience nuisance but it could be better.
Auto-translated to English by AIBeautiful street, lots of greenery and many blooming flowers. Dorpsbos is very close by, everything looks neat and tidy,

Auto-translated to English by AIWhen I came to live here in August 2024, my thoughts were positive. Now I've been here for six months and I can't really find myself in it. People telling me what to do? Being watched, it's not my thing. I don't like people watching me or others just to express their own discontent about it. I would like to leave here as soon as possible. Then the housing, I'm in a 55+ apartment. I think the apartments could have been laid out better. The apartment doesn't meet my needs after all. A washing machine right next to the shower? Who thinks of something like that? Two toilets on the ground floor? Nothing upstairs at all? When you get older, it's actually nice to have an extra toilet upstairs. There's no water connection for, say, mopping. Always carrying buckets of water upstairs to clean. All things that are nice to have upstairs when you're getting older. There are so many things that annoy me about this apartment. The apartment has been around since 2002. I don't understand that all those people who have lived here before didn't have a problem with it. The neighbourhood in terms of children's playground equipment. That is well arranged here. There are several playgrounds for children to play football, climb on the climbing frame, swing or use other play equipment. As a parent, you can sit on several benches and watch your child or grandchild play. Then the parking for your car. There are enough spaces, you can park your car reasonably well, also enough space when family visits. The municipality is also installing extra electric charging points. Again, it's not my neighbourhood. And if it were up to me, I would have left yesterday. So I'm often away and not at home.
