Geen gemeenschapszin

Mooie maar extreem dure huizen. Mensen zullen je niet snel gedag zeggen. En zijn erg op zichzelf. Geluidsoverlast van de snelweg is behoorlijk in de appartementen. Hoewel de wijk mooi is opgezet en er prachtige huizen staan. is de sfeer koud en kil. Dit gaat over nieuw-rhijngeest. De indische buurt is wel veel sfeer en goede contacten mogelijk.

Heel onrustige buurt met veel overlast

Heel veel drugsgebruikers in deze wijk met veel overlast van vervelende hangjongeren. Handhaving doet te weinig om wijk beter te maken. Wijk is een bouwput weinig groen, scholen doen maar wat. In de wijk vind je her en daar wietzakjes, hondenpoep op stoepen, hele vieze huizen vanaf buitenkant te zien, scholen staan niet open voor verbeteringen of suggesties. Voorzieningen is weinig keus en veel leegstand, ov rijdt maar twee keer per uur in de wijk, momenteel vrijwel onmogelijk om naar dordrecht te gaan

Vreemd in eigen land

Weinig tot geen contact met mensen die in je straat wonen. Passanten zeggen geen gedag of het lijkt alsof je ze om hun bankrekening vraagt. Vooropstellend ,veel van deze zijn Nederlanders! Helaas veel afval naast de containers. Sluikstorters...dumpen en wegrijden. JE kan sticker op die afval containers zetten maar het gros wat hier inmiddels woont en daar gebruik van maakt kan geen woord Nederlands of Engels. Er wordt hier 's nachts snoeihard gereden door de straat : vnl auto's met Duits kenteken in het weekend......en de usual suspects die hier altijd rond de avondwinkel rondhangen. In 9 jaar tijd de buurt aardig achteruit zien gaan. Kortom steek je hoofd buiten en maak het niet mooier dan het is door te zeggen dat het hier prettig wonen is. Geregeld een explosie hier en daar moet ook maar gewoon gevonden worden inmiddels???

Goed bereikbare , rustige buurt

De buurt gaat wel achteruit. Vaak afval bij ondergrondse containers. Veel fout parkeerders. Het is een rustige buurt met al de voorzieningen op loop afstand.

Fijne buurt en zeer veilig

Ik woon in een fijne en rustige buurt waar ik mij veilig voel. De buurt is schoon en de mensen zijn over het algemeen vriendelijk en behulpzaam. Er zijn voldoende voorzieningen in de omgeving en ik vind het prettig dat alles goed bereikbaar is. Ook vind ik het fijn dat er genoeg groen en rustige plekken zijn. Over het algemeen ben ik tevreden met mijn buurt en voel ik mij hier thuis.

Gemoedelijk voor wie het zelf opzoekt

Of ik ergens prettig woon, is voor mij afhankelijk van de omgeving en de buren. Voor mij betekent dit dat er de mogelijkheid is om een wederkerige connectie op te bouwen, die zorgt voor gezelschap en tegelijkertijd bijdraagt aan vertrouwen en een gevoel van veiligheid. Voor de mensen die daar behoefte aan hebben, moet dit in de wijk of straat mogelijk zijn.

Prettig

Het is net een klein dorpje, je kunt overal fijn heen fietsen of lopen. Er is ook openbaar vervoer wat het nog makkelijker maakt om ergens heen te gaan. Niet al te ver van het centrum af.
