Auto-translated to English by AII have lived in the Geuzenbuurt for 16 years, schools, supermarket. The station and the city centre are a 10-minute walk away, there is a playground on every corner. And there are several primary and secondary schools in the neighbourhood.
Auto-translated to English by AINice area in terms of location, close to the forest, the centre and the cosy Gijsbrecht also nearby. Schools and supermarkets around the corner, really a top location. Fellow residents think too much of themselves. Small gardens, so close together and very noisy. Both young people at night and small children during the day. But a nice mix of ages.
Auto-translated to English by AINeighbourhood itself is fine. Nothing unpleasant. Only the Diependaalselaan is very busy and suffers from exhaust fumes. Speed bumps at the end would make a big difference. They always rev their engines right in front of the flats... Maybe more supervision there...
