Quiet, pleasant neighbourhood

De Schoener is a quiet and pleasant neighbourhood to live in. The atmosphere is friendly, children can play outside safely, and amenities such as schools and shops are nearby. We experience little nuisance and actually have few to no negative points.

Quiet

The neighbourhood is fairly quiet, except my downstairs neighbour is a professional complainer, but otherwise the neighbourhood is quite nice, only a lot of rubbish and weeds remain lying around.

Quiet

A quiet and safe neighbourhood, but few amenities. The bus only comes twice an hour and there's only a fresh market with limited products and opening hours.
