Auto-translated to English by AII've been living in this neighborhood for over 6 years and just just bought a larger apartment in the same building. We considered looking into other neighborhoods but just had a baby with my boyfriend we could definitely get more for pur money here. It's not perfect but it has changed a lot in the past years, offering now more options for entertainment and horeca, and hosting younger residents and families with little kids and dogs than it used to. It's calm, safe and green, and although it could still improve and could get more support from the local government, it's still affordable (compared to the rest of the city) and constantly changing for the better.

Auto-translated to English by AIBuurt met veel potentie, maar erg veel sociale huur. Ongezonde balans. Te veel afval op straat, weinig groen. Bewoners hechten weinig waarde aan de buurt. Wel een fijne buurt voor kinderen en rustig gelegen in Haarlem. Dichtbij de de stad en uitvalswegen naar Amsterdam. Er zijn in de buurt zelf geen winkels, maar ligt om 5 min afstand van Amsterdamstraat en 10min van de binnenstad.
