Goede bereikbaarheid met openbaar vervoer. Betrokken buren. Basisonderwijs aanwezig. Wij wonen hier nu 2,5 jaar. En zijn opgenomen in de gemeenschap. Erg fijn.
Auto-translated to English by AIIk woon hier nu, met ups en downs qua lawaai/herrie, nu 12,5 jaar. Altijd gekozen om hier toch te blijven, gezien de fijne buren en nette straat, met de mooie Hamburgervijver om de hoek waar ik graag eens zit te relaxen. Alle voorzieningen vlakbij en bushalte aan de kade, ideaal als je vaak en graag reist :). Ik voel me hier onderhand erg veilig, in al die tijd alleen eens een brand geweest maar verder kun je hier rustig je leventje leven, veelal hoog opgeleide buren, wat prettig is in het contact. Ik ben blij dat ik hier nog steeds woon.

Auto-translated to English by AII've been living in Winschoten-Noord for years and it's lovely here. There are many parks nearby for nice walks with the dog and the children. The amenities are also in good order: schools, supermarket and a good connection to both the centre and Blauwestad. A few more charging points could be installed, but we can't complain in this neighbourhood. I also always feel safe.
