Old neighbourhood, generally low income.
Auto-translated to English by AII feel at home in this neighbourhood. Very diverse, safe and easily accessible.
Auto-translated to English by AINice neighbourhood with lots of nature, close to the centre but very quiet.
Auto-translated to English by AII haven't lived here very long, but I'm especially a fan of the green surroundings and walking routes. I was also surprised that people from my block like to chat and know each other reasonably well. On the street I don't always feel very safe, because there are relatively many people with (visible) mental health and/or drug problems. Yet after living here for a short time, I noticed that I need to worry less than I thought and most people are very friendly here. I am less of a fan of the amenities here; only the Plus supermarket is in the neighbourhood, but that's not necessarily very affordable for everyone. Furthermore, there isn't much within walking distance. I also notice that, for example, on my street there is quite a lot of litter (now also a lot of old fireworks) and the gardens are generally not maintained. This could certainly be improved (:
Auto-translated to English by AInice park, close to the centre, two supermarkets nearby, also two hairdressers, community centre with many activities and cheap lunch/dinner around the corner. Second-hand clothing shop, flower shop and a few other shops, including two cafeterias, a pizza delivery, in short plenty of amenities. And also just over 5 minutes by bike from the centre.
Auto-translated to English by AIHave been living here for 5 years, very pleasant. Lots of nice people. Good for starters.
