Cosy neighbourhood for families

Great neighbourhood to live in (with a family). Easily accessible due to its favourable location near the motorway, but also plenty of options to travel to surrounding cities by public transport. In recent years, many redevelopments have taken place within Damcentrum, which has greatly improved the area. Both in terms of facilities and public space.
