Kern Buggenum is een oude buurt, waarin met respect door de bewoners wordt geleefd. Veel samenhang en bereidheid voor elkaar.

Prachtig wonen

Mooie veilige groene buurt met een fijne sfeer tussen de dorpsbewoners, enige jammere is dat er geen winkels goed bereikbaar zijn, wel een restaurant, en een school in het buurdorp. Openbaar vervoer is minimaal.

Top location

Quietly situated in nature on a dead-end road. Good accessibility to the city and motorway and all amenities. All types of schools within very short cycling distance.

stay away from this neighbourhood

I give this neighbourhood a failing grade on several important aspects. Safety feels limited due to persistent nuisance and lack of supervision. The community is not close-knit; many residents move away quickly or pass away, resulting in little social cohesion. Hygiene leaves much to be desired. There is often rubbish on the streets and public spaces are poorly maintained. Housing is also of poor quality. Many homes are in bad condition, with deferred maintenance and conditions reminiscent of slums. Furthermore, the living environment is unpleasant due to constant noise pollution and air pollution. The lack of greenery and an attractive natural environment makes the neighbourhood even less pleasant to live in. All in all, this is an area where the quality of life is low and improvement is needed in many areas. Due to the poor living conditions, noise pollution and pollution, I recommend considering another neighbourhood. Avoid this area if you value peace, safety and a clean living environment.

Generally satisfied

It's a nice neighbourhood to live in. I feel safe and most people are friendly. However, we do think the greenery is really in need of renewal, and the pavements and roads also give a somewhat outdated and neglected impression. The neighbourhood could do with a makeover and more colour. The playground in the Dassenkuil has just been newly laid out, but it's really only for a certain age group. The older children have nothing. Too bad!
