Great

Beautiful, safe. Very close to the Maasdijk and the floodplains. Sufficient facilities in the village. Within 20 minutes by bike to the centre of Den Bosch. Cosy village where a lot is organised. Various sports clubs. Football, tennis, badminton, billiards, etc.

Nice neighbourhood with good social contacts

Nice mix of people, with a few exceptions who don't want to and can't adapt and don't have the qualities for it either.

Den Bosch is nicer...

Nothing else is worth it. As soon as I step outside the neighbourhood I feel disgusted. Nicest stadium and least filthy community centre in the Netherlands. Would also have a nice view of IJzeren Vrouw if that bloody road hadn't split the bloody park in two, what a bloody mess, bloody 60s... Furthermore, glad I'm from the north and not the south. Those lazy bastards in Graafsebuurt south wanted to keep slavery, what a bunch of empathy-less scum. #AllMokrosMustAlsoWork

Time for a new beginning

It used to be fun, but not anymore. Lots of junkies in the neighbourhood, a bit unsafe and just time for something new, so I'm glad the flats are being demolished and new apartment complexes are coming.
