everything perfect lovely people and many amenities
Auto-translated to English by AIBorn here, many homes are poor, damp and drafty and too expensive
Auto-translated to English by AIPeople who don't know you will be curious; people have often peered into my house, and I mean really pressing their face against the window to peep. For "fun", young people have tried to kick my door in, which I think is going too far. Furthermore, there are curious, quiet, and friendly elderly people in the neighbourhood. Every kid here has a fatbike, of course. Lack of parking. Jumbo, Action, and Trekpleister in the area, plus a decent-sized shopping centre nearby. Generally, people are polite if you greet them. Rubbish could be collected more often, but that might be a Maastricht thing.
Auto-translated to English by AIThere is little greenery, few amenities, and the houses are extremely poorly insulated.
Auto-translated to English by AISafety has improved slightly in recent years. However, there is still nuisance, especially from September onwards, from illegal heavy fireworks Category 4/5 in the evening hours. At New Year's Eve, we ourselves call it a war zone here, you can no longer go outside safely and that for 48 hours. With dogs, it's a lot of stress for us. Something should be done about this, you have to flee your home, living enjoyment is legally required.

Auto-translated to English by AIThere is little to do for young people
Auto-translated to English by AII have beautiful and less beautiful experiences. Too many outsiders are placed, sorry but it doesn't give a safe feeling. The little park is nice and pleasant for walking, but it's also an escape route. Install more cameras.
