Reasonable, but compared to 20 years ago. Too busy with traffic.

It is very beautiful, but if you like crowds you should go to Amsterdam.

It is a quiet neighbourhood with beautiful houses. There are plenty of primary and secondary schools in the area, but unfortunately no universities or colleges. It is very close to Amsterdam (10 minutes by car), which is always nice. The infrastructure is very good and there are more and more improvements. It is a shame that there is not a larger centre, because at the moment there are only clothing stores, terraces and restaurants. House prices are also getting more expensive, and are starting to look more and more like those in Amsterdam. There are also plenty of sports clubs. The only problem is the Poelenburg district, where there are sometimes issues. I hope that more attention will be paid to that.

Good neighbourhood, could be a bit cleaner.

It's a fine neighbourhood, but the waste collection could be better. There's also so much loose rubbish on the streets.
