Very satisfied

I live here with great pleasure. It is a quiet, green and pleasant neighbourhood where you can enjoy walking and nature. Everything you need is nearby (such as shops, public transport and other amenities). The neighbours are friendly and helpful, and there is a pleasant atmosphere. I feel safe here and can definitely recommend this neighbourhood.

Enjoy living here because you live close to water and nature. It's a social neighbourhood.

Social residents who are there for each other. The children have plenty of playgrounds, supermarket nearby and affordable homes. Few bad tenants so little nuisance. Nature and Wantij within a stone's throw. Couldn't be better.

Quiet living close to The Hague

The neighbourhood is quiet with little contact with the neighbours. It is otherwise relaxed, rich in nature, and of good quality. You are close to The Hague and it's a half-hour drive to Amsterdam. The lack of contact with the neighbourhood has its pros and cons. But it does provide peace. The houses are very closed off from the rest of the street, so there is little contact.

Pretty good

I've lived here for a few years. There's litter on the ground. But the supermarkets are good in the neighbourhood and there's a community centre. Nice!

Green and quiet

A very nice neighbourhood. The airport is nearby, but you don't hear a thing. Zestienhovenpark is great for walking or jogging. Many families with children live here. There is a lot of greenery and you see many birds. The best neighbourhood
