There is a lot of crime, and there are many burglaries and shootings, you have to be able to handle it, it's a multicultural neighbourhood and many children, but mostly dark-skinned children, but I don't mind that, mostly families from Morocco, Syria and Somalia live there, we ourselves live between a family from Somalia and a family from Syria, a lot of noise with the children but nice people. It consists of owner-occupied and rental houses. People live in flats who put household waste next to the underground containers with food scraps and throw food without packaging on the grass and so on, There is a reasonable shopping centre with a baker, a Jumbo, an Aldi, Primera, 2 foreign hairdressers, 1 Dutch hairdresser, 2 Moroccan supermarkets, 1 has a complete butcher's shop, this is a great supermarket, comes here daily. A youth centre, a meeting place for adults, a Domino's, a Zeeman, a bicycle shop, a flower shop, a Bistro which is more often closed than open, and a sandwich shop, a Syrian eatery, a snack bar/fishmonger, that was about it. Safety is insufficient because there are often shootings and burglaries
Auto-translated to English by AIAlways a lot of misery including shootings, stabbing incidents, just not a nice place to live. And there is also a lot of neighbour noise and the neighbourhood looks like a slum because rubbish is thrown around the underground bins, such as household waste and bulky waste like furniture, while they want to improve the neighbourhood but do nothing about it.
Auto-translated to English by AII feel very safe and there are a lot of nice people here
Auto-translated to English by AIHave lived here for 25 years but every year the neighbourhood deteriorates
Auto-translated to English by AIQuite a lot of accidents happen, I think there should be more zebra crossings and much more consideration should be given to the elderly or people with visual impairments.
Auto-translated to English by AII have lived here since 1974 to my full satisfaction. It is a pleasant, quiet neighbourhood with lots of greenery and sufficient amenities such as schools and play facilities for children. There is an Aldi, a baker, a snack bar, a hairdresser and a beautician. There are also two retirement homes.
Auto-translated to English by AIWe have lived in this nice neighbourhood since 1974. Always with great pleasure. Until a few years ago, there was an active, pleasant neighbourhood association here that always organised nice activities. I myself ran a very cosy craft group there for many years on Wednesday afternoons for the children from the neighbourhood. Always done with great pleasure.
