The Schorsmolen neighbourhood
The Schorsmolen area is a mix of opinions, based on three reviews. One resident says: "Lots of drug addicts and homeless people hanging around here. The front door looks like a rubbish dump, nobody cleans it up, the council does nothing about it." Another says: "My neighbourhood is safe and close to all shops, sometimes I get bothered by bicycles during a festival or special events, but overall it's fine to live here." A third adds: "I have been living in this neighbourhood for 6 years. And I have never had any unpleasant experiences." The area is mostly single-person households, with a young population. The Schorsmolen neighbourhood is central, so it's busy but convenient.
