Nice neighbourhood

Waterakkers is a nice neighbourhood to live in. Clean, safe, and the neighbours know and help each other. Parking is difficult on some streets, more and more residents have a van. The neighbourhood has now existed for over 25 years, so people are busy renovating their homes. When you walk through the neighbourhood, you always hear drilling and sawing, it's like a hut village! The neighbourhood is a 10-minute walk from the centre, which is very nice!
