The Welgelegen neighbourhood
Welgelegen is a mixed area, with stately houses alongside smaller workers' cottages. One resident describes it as a "Cosy neighbourhood": "Atmospheric neighbourhood with nice neighbours. Houses with a stately character interspersed with smaller workers' cottages. You can feel the history, you can walk straight into the city centre." Another resident is less enthusiastic, calling it "Restless": "It's fine to live here, as long as you stay in your own house. There are huge drug problems in the neighbourhood and cars speed by. So cats can't safely go outside either." These two reviews give a balanced picture of daily life here. The area is home to many single-person households, and a large share of residents are between 25 and 45.
