It's called the backstreet neighbourhood

There is a lot of crime, and there are many burglaries and shootings, you have to be able to handle it, it's a multicultural neighbourhood and many children, but mostly dark-skinned children, but I don't mind that, mostly families from Morocco, Syria and Somalia live there, we ourselves live between a family from Somalia and a family from Syria, a lot of noise with the children but nice people. It consists of owner-occupied and rental houses. People live in flats who put household waste next to the underground containers with food scraps and throw food without packaging on the grass and so on, There is a reasonable shopping centre with a baker, a Jumbo, an Aldi, Primera, 2 foreign hairdressers, 1 Dutch hairdresser, 2 Moroccan supermarkets, 1 has a complete butcher's shop, this is a great supermarket, comes here daily. A youth centre, a meeting place for adults, a Domino's, a Zeeman, a bicycle shop, a flower shop, a Bistro which is more often closed than open, and a sandwich shop, a Syrian eatery, a snack bar/fishmonger, that was about it. Safety is insufficient because there are often shootings and burglaries

Not a nice neighbourhood

Always a lot of misery including shootings, stabbing incidents, just not a nice place to live. And there is also a lot of neighbour noise and the neighbourhood looks like a slum because rubbish is thrown around the underground bins, such as household waste and bulky waste like furniture, while they want to improve the neighbourhood but do nothing about it.
