Very clean, everything close together, supermarket etc., nice people
Auto-translated to English by AINice neighbourhood, many amenities but in the street of the rental homes there is little contact with the residents.
Auto-translated to English by AIIn the neighbourhood there are many groups of residents living together, including foreigners but also Dutch families. Social safety can vary greatly from street to street. For example, drug labs have been busted in one street, while in another street there are large villas. So there is a big contrast. The people in the neighbourhood are very sociable and like to chat. There is sometimes litter on the street, but there are cleaning services. There is nothing in the neighbourhood, and in the surrounding area there are small parks. There is a secondary school and a primary school, as well as nursery and preschool care that are mainstream and generally rated well. There is a train station and several bus stops, including a neighbourhood bus.
Auto-translated to English by AIMeerssen is a nice neighbourhood where I have lived all my life. But in Meerssen itself there is also a lot of crime, which has reduced social safety. In Meerssen, more and more people with a non-Western background have come to live. In Meerssen, there are mainly many elderly people, but there are also streets where more households with young children live, and there are also some loitering youths on the streets. In my opinion, more attention could be paid to safety in Meerssen, and more things should be arranged for young people so that they do not just hang around on the streets and cause nuisance.
