The neighbourhood where I live is nice and cosy, but there is a park next to it where the maintenance is really poor. They remove the beautiful trees and leave the weeds because, in my opinion, they don't know much about greenery. And the surrounding neighbourhoods have a lot of nuisance from young people. In my view, too little is being done about it. And I'm afraid it won't get much better because they want to place an asylum seekers' centre. They can't handle it as it is!
Auto-translated to English by AII think I live in a very nice neighbourhood. Everything is very central, making it easy to get to shops and other places. Additionally, the neighbourhood is quiet, which I really appreciate. It creates a safe and relaxed atmosphere. What I do find a pity is that there is no playground for children in the area. If there were a play area, children could play better here and the neighbourhood would become even more pleasant. Overall, I am satisfied with my neighbourhood. It is quiet and centrally located, and with a playground it would be completely complete.
Auto-translated to English by AIHouses will be demolished in the future they say 20227 as far as we know nothing neighbourhood okay otherwise poor maintenance
Auto-translated to English by AIHave lived there for years.
Auto-translated to English by AINice and close together but not too much. The neighbourhood is super cosy and social, so that's not the issue. Plenty of facilities like playgrounds and a Cruyff court football field.
Auto-translated to English by AIQuiet neighbourhood, all shops and amenities are easily accessible. Pleasant living.
Auto-translated to English by AII like that my house is so surrounded by nature. However, there aren't many social people here; a neighbourhood party would have been nice sometimes. People often say that I "live in a maze". There are several schools nearby, which is nice for the children, and there are still a few houses available to rent or buy. There is little crime here (at least that's what I've noticed), and you're also close to a supermarket, snack bar, pizzeria, and hairdresser. Of course, you're also quite close to the centre of Heemskerk, and Beverwijk is also quite nearby. The hygiene here is also fine. In summary, it's a decent neighbourhood!
Auto-translated to English by AICosy, neighbours talk to each other, you know everyone, lots of playgrounds so it's nice to let your child grow up here, at the end of the street a primary school and on the street a daycare centre. Great location. The flat itself is a bit outdated but they are working on making it more sustainable and renovating.
