How residents experience their neighbourhood
The once beautiful working-class neighbourhood is now in decay, especially the part with only rental houses. Too much "a" social control: if you sell things from your home to different people, you're already labelled a drug dealer. The Noordewierweg, what a mess; at the front near the Opidium you can already tell that the streets along this road are not doing well. Subsidence has already been recorded, also by myself. Shops are disappearing, and if something comes back, it's only "I don't understand, I'm a refugee" vibe. Activities for the youth? The municipality of Amersfoort doesn't know; nothing is done about youngsters who mess things up or destroy things. Covered bus stops have been removed. Drug dealers are present in many places in the Soesterkwartier. Everything could be better.

Auto-translated to English by AIFine, but there could be more playground equipment for the children. Better enforcement for the loitering youth.
Auto-translated to English by AIBeautiful old trees, green neighbourhood in the district, 1930s houses, good atmosphere, friendly, warm-hearted people from different backgrounds. Harmony and everyone is there for each other. Good accessibility by bus, bike or car. Centrally located near the city centre and central station.

Auto-translated to English by AIGreen, beautiful trees, centrally located. Nice, safe neighbourhood
Auto-translated to English by AII've lived here for 10 years and I don't have many problems with the neighbourhood. I don't have much contact with the other residents but I'm still always invited to street parties and stuff.
Auto-translated to English by AICosy old working-class neighbourhood. Unfortunately, trouble with youngsters (antisocial) at supermarkets. Otherwise cosy, good contact with neighbours.
Auto-translated to English by AICosy, everyone is there for each other. Houses are a bit on the old side, but that has its charm too. Lots of green spaces and schools. Plenty for children and everything nearby.

Prima buurt, weinig last van anderen, maar de binnenstad blijft de binnenstad. Op dit moment is er een hogeschool in de buurt, maar verder geen basisscholen in de binnenstad.
