Cosy neighbourhood, know everyone, help each other where necessary and it's a clean and tidy neighbourhood. The only downside is that there is no education in the area, you have to travel further.
Auto-translated to English by AIWaalwijk is very quiet, sometimes too quiet. Although you often have burglaries or sometimes a robbery, not much happens to the ordinary citizen and it is certainly not unsafe to go out with your family even in the evening. One thing that needs to change is that it is too quiet. There are no parties for young people anywhere in Waalwijk, while you certainly long for that during your teenage years.
Auto-translated to English by AITidy and quiet neighbourhood where everyone keeps to themselves but still looks out for each other
Auto-translated to English by AII live in an industrial estate, there isn't enough public transport, none at weekends, and it takes me an hour to walk to the centre.
Auto-translated to English by AIA wonderfully quiet, child-friendly neighbourhood.
Auto-translated to English by AIWe live in a nice apartment with a beautiful view. It feels like we live in a nature reserve. We come from a detached house but don't want to leave here anymore!
Auto-translated to English by AIeverything is perfect!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Auto-translated to English by AIIt is a nicely located neighbourhood surrounded by relatively many farms. Nice natural area around the houses. Sometimes just some nuisance from the street due to vehicles driving too fast or being too noisy. (Tractors, motorbikes, trucks). It is very clean. The community is very sociable and easy to find. In terms of accessibility, it is easy because it is a fairly large street that is about 1.5 km from the motorway. For secondary education, you are soon a bit further away. For colleges and universities, you are also soon at 25 km.
