I was born and raised in marsdijk assen. I have lived in this nice neighbourhood for 14 years, which is also because I am 14 years old. I enjoy living here. I generally feel quite safe, except when you go to the anne frank park after 8pm. the atmosphere there is usually grim. it is a very cosy neighbourhood, I definitely recommend people to live here. especially if they have a pretty daughter my age.

Auto-translated to English by AIPositive but the neighbourhood around the street where we live is deteriorating. Lower social class rental homes, many foreign people and drug dealing in the area, also known to the police. Furthermore, many facilities in the area, shops, schools, a GP practice and a community centre.

Auto-translated to English by AIThere's nothing to do. Everything is super expensive in the shops. There's a doctor, pharmacy and bakery. But there's nothing for teenagers to do. Only the spot (cafe), football field, cafe. No activities or workshops for 18 years and older. The street is well lit but behind our house there's an alley and you can't see anything at all. There are a lot of drunk people. There are no neighbourhood parties. Neighbours make a lot of noise at 3am.

Auto-translated to English by AIGood neighbours, mostly young people with children, also 2 schools, small neighbourhood shop, easily accessible doctor's practice and pharmacy. This is Zwartemeer where I and my husband live. I also live conveniently close to work within walking distance of the clients.
Auto-translated to English by AIAlley not lit by street lamps. Responsibility lies with the housing association. I have a broken little toe from protruding sleepers of a garden in the alley. Ventilation system doesn't work. Draft, mould, water under crawl space. There was also a visit from a company regarding energy level. C was personal, will become B for business. The housing association in question is difficult to communicate with, in my experience. Same with the pavements in the alley and the drain I called the relevant department about, but still need to report it. The neighbourhood. I've only just moved here and what strikes me is that there are no rubbish bins where you can, for example, dispose of your dog's waste. I also see that people dump waste in the private woodland areas where you're allowed to walk, including the poop bags. And then the pavements. Dangerous! And in the neighbourhood itself, people drive too fast. I don't get too worked up about it, but I actually find it quite annoying. The greenery, walking paths, private woods where you can walk are beautiful. With diversity of flora and fauna. But again, I see stepped-on mushrooms, plastic, cans, bottles, and much more. I take with me what I can take. But actually, there should be a bin at the beginning of the path, which is on municipal land. I notice little of the community. I'm quite a loner. When I walk the dog, people are friendly. It has become a reasonably mixed village.
