Nice neighbourhood

Nice street/neighbourhood to live in. People enjoy chatting with each other, greet each other, show empathy, help each other, and organise an annual neighbour meet-up in the street.

Nuisance

A few years ago, about a year before corona, it was a quiet neighbourhood with many elderly people. Now only new people have moved in who cause a lot of noise and nuisance. (Parties, barbecues, renovations for 3 years, wood-burning stove, illegal fireworks). This is almost a reason to move. Very unfortunate.

Quiet

A quiet neighbourhood with relatively quiet residents. The village feel (including the gossiping and judging) is sometimes a bit oppressive. Relatively conservative and religious neighbourhood. Via the Rhine, actually only the north is easily accessible. The N-road that connects the village with the rest of the world is unfortunately situated and busy.

Great

It's a great neighbourhood to live in, only the municipality often doesn't cooperate, they do nothing that their residents ask. Other than that, very satisfied with the neighbourhood.
