Very beautiful neighbourhood in Groningen. Lots of facilities such as various schools, gym, playgrounds and plenty of supermarkets and other shops. What is unpleasant is that there is often rubbish next to the bins. Furthermore, the neighbourhood has many nice small parks and you are within no time in a quiet natural environment where you can enjoy walking, running, cycling etc. All in all, this neighbourhood is perfect for students but also for families and other city dwellers.
Auto-translated to English by AIMy neighbourhood is quite cosy, though sometimes dirty because rubbish isn't put in the bins, so hygiene isn't always great. Lots of students, so sometimes there aren't enough places to park your bike. There isn't really a neighbourhood association or other communities that I'm part of. The area also has a primary school, a university of applied sciences, a nice park, several playgrounds and plenty of other amenities. Definitely a safe neighbourhood, but the houses are very old. All in all, a great place to live.
Auto-translated to English by AIPleasant neighbours all around, cosy, many amenities in the area, fairly green, people greet each other or have a chat. Annual neighbourhood party. Easily accessible from both sides of the ring road. Safe feeling of living. Both students, elderly and families.
Auto-translated to English by AIA good neighbourhood, but a lot of waste from the Orientals on the street.
Auto-translated to English by AII think it's a nice neighbourhood! Often there is rubbish from the shop in the street. Otherwise, it's a fun neighbourhood!
Auto-translated to English by AIBecause of the many 'students' and junkies in my complex, I don't feel very safe.. also had a break-in at my previous home and now have very unpleasant neighbours. The housing association does nothing about it
