The Schorsmolen neighbourhood
Schorsmolen is a compact, central area with a mix of characters. Based on three reviews, opinions vary: one resident describes it as a "junkenhol", mentioning drug addicts and homeless people hanging around and a front door that looks like a rubbish dump. Another says the neighbourhood is "safe and close to all shops", with occasional bicycle bother during festivals. A third, who has lived here for six years, calls it a "quiet neighbourhood" with no unpleasant experiences. The CBS figures show a young population, with 44% aged 25 to 45 and 77% single-person households. This is the Schorsmolen neighbourhood in a nutshell.
