Beautiful neighbourhood with many recreational opportunities
Auto-translated to English by AIThe neighbourhood is nice and for our apartment block there is a large green grass field with a small playground for the children. It's just that after half past six in the evening it's very difficult to find a parking spot close to home. My boyfriend often comes home later and then has to park his car outside the neighbourhood on the street of the Auto1st van Toorn garage. It's not nice when you come home around midnight and still have to walk almost 10 minutes.
Auto-translated to English by AIEverything is easily accessible. It's lively and child-friendly. All basic amenities are available. Litter is still an eyesore. So are incorrectly parked bicycles.

Auto-translated to English by AII've been living here for 6 years with my brother, father and mother. As soon as we arrived, we were immediately welcomed by almost the entire neighbourhood. There are also many children living here, which I like.
Auto-translated to English by AIGood experience, nice neighbourhood and everything is nearby
Auto-translated to English by AITerrible. Used to be a nice neighbourhood with people who were proud of their house and garden. Now only neglect and people who couldn't care less about how everything looks. We're next to a park and green zone, but in the evening you have to stay away from there.
