I experience a lot of safety here. Never felt like I had to watch out for my safety and the roads are nicely built. I rarely experience a car driving too fast here and I never hear anything bad from neighbours about burglaries or theft. You can easily chat with people on the street that you see often because they walk their dogs, and I was even helped once with my bike when the chain came off. It is generally clean, only sometimes there are extra bags of rubbish and furniture by the containers. Houses are fine, nothing to complain about. They all look neat inside and out. Internet works well, fibre optic and electricity never go out. There are many playgrounds. Walking opportunities along the Maas and several supermarkets within walking distance. Also several bus stops and a fitness centre. You can easily get there on foot, by bike or by car. There is only a secondary school in the neighbourhood.

Auto-translated to English by AIFriendly with each other. Noisy. Beautiful surroundings, but everything and everyone lives close together. Rarely a moment of peace and quiet. There are many children in the neighbourhood, they throw their rubbish on the street. So far I have always felt safe in our neighbourhood, but more and more residents or people from outside are coming. That gives a more unsafe feeling. Steyl has few amenities. There is only a supermarket. If you need other items, you will have to look for them in another place. Fortunately, we have greenery here and there, but that does mean there is more noise nuisance. The maintenance of the greenery is all done electrically, with most machines causing a huge racket. The people working with them wear ear/hearing protectors themselves.
Auto-translated to English by AIVery nice neighbourhood to live in. All the facilities we need are present.
