Nice little neighbourhood

This is a renovated district. Many new and old residents. Nice contact with the neighbours. Pleasant living.

The Old Familiar

Although I'm never outside much, I've been able to build many memories here and can always find that feeling of "Home". I feel human here. And even though I don't do much for it myself, I see very few neighbours interacting with each other anymore. And I don't think I'll be able to find a place of my own here later.

Very Expensive.

I think my neighbourhood is nice, but everything around me is very pricey due to the Zaanse Schans and the tourists it brings.
