Criminal

Lots of crime in the neighbourhood. Many young people who are part of it. Dangerous roundabouts where many accidents happen.

Vinkitown, a place full of wannabes and crazies, but well-stocked with shops and greenery

The neighbourhood generally has an undeserved bad reputation. The area is generally safe and well-provided with greenery and recreation.

Nice house, less nice neighbourhood

There is a lot of greenery in Vinkhuizen. I find this important. In terms of shops and facilities, there is plenty available. However, as a woman, I don't go out on the street in the evening because things often happen in this neighbourhood.
