How residents experience their neighbourhood
Different kinds of people live in my neighbourhood with diverse backgrounds and from various cultures. Also a good mix in terms of ages. There are plenty of activities and facilities. And the neighbourhood is easily accessible. However, busy traffic is sometimes a downside. There is enough green space in my neighbourhood and the maintenance is reasonably good.

Auto-translated to English by AIit's nice being close to the shopping centre, but I don't feel very safe when I walk out of my house.
Auto-translated to English by AIThe neighbourhood is fine, amenities are close by and buses run regularly. Safety is a bit of an issue; I haven't experienced any trouble myself, but the things you read in the news are sometimes alarming... Maybe it could be solved with more police (especially in the evenings and at night) on the streets.
Auto-translated to English by AINice neighbourhood, but you see little cohesion among the residents. Shopping centre nearby and for those who study, the University is within cycling distance and Hanze can be reached by bike within 2 minutes. There is also a bus stop a 2-minute walk away.

Auto-translated to English by AILiving in Paddepoel feels to me like living in a small town within the city. Everything I need is close by: the shopping centre around the corner, the bus to the city centre at my doorstep, and the Zernike campus within walking distance. The neighbourhood is a mix of quiet and lively; during the day you hear children playing, and in the evenings it's often pleasantly busy around the shops. All sorts of people live here, from students to families and the elderly, which makes the area a bit chaotic but also very human. Sometimes it's a bit messy or you hear traffic, but that's part of the city. Overall, Paddepoel feels like a practical, familiar place where there's always something to do.
Auto-translated to English by AIThe shop is a 2-minute walk away and open until 10 PM, plus there are many other nice shops in the shopping centre. The municipality regularly comes by to clean and tidy up, and I have lovely neighbours.

How residents experience their municipality
Ik 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.
