How residents experience their neighbourhood
I've lived here for 12 years, mostly with great pleasure. It's generally a quiet neighbourhood with little nuisance. The houses are quite noisy though, so you can hear the neighbours. Especially when they turn up the music, but luckily that's not too often or for long. We have a street app where we lend things and help each other, and sometimes organise things together, which is also nice. And as a whole street we campaigned for a greener square, and that has now happened. There is a supermarket in the neighbourhood and a few shops, but no dentist, GP or school. Those are all in the next district. So that could be better. But there is a community centre, playground and course centre, Edanz, which also organises all sorts of things for the neighbourhood, such as community vegetable gardens and a pick-your-own garden, and offers a healthy meal almost daily for a donation, and cheap bicycle repairs. Volunteers work there, so there is also an opportunity to volunteer for the neighbourhood.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's a cosy neighbourhood with lots of greenery where owners and renters live on the same street. I feel safe on my street but not in the whole district. Some streets are a bit worse and feel less safe. Many houses have been renovated, but there are also bad houses with mould, especially the flats, and poorer people live there, so there is quite a lot of poverty in this district. Although I do get the impression that it's less bad in our neighbourhood. The gardens are tidy and it looks well-maintained. Unfortunately, there is often dog poo on the pavement. There is no school in my neighbourhood, only in surrounding districts. There are shops and other amenities nearby, but only one in the district and the rest not. We work together to make the street nicer.

How residents experience their district
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.
Auto-translated to English by AIVery 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 AIOld neighbourhood, generally low income.
Auto-translated to English by AII feel at home in this neighbourhood. Very diverse, safe and easily accessible.
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 AINice neighbourhood with lots of nature, close to the centre but very quiet.
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 AII haven't lived here very long, but I'm especially a fan of the green surroundings and walking routes. I was also surprised that people from my block like to chat and know each other reasonably well. On the street I don't always feel very safe, because there are relatively many people with (visible) mental health and/or drug problems. Yet after living here for a short time, I noticed that I need to worry less than I thought and most people are very friendly here. I am less of a fan of the amenities here; only the Plus supermarket is in the neighbourhood, but that's not necessarily very affordable for everyone. Furthermore, there isn't much within walking distance. I also notice that, for example, on my street there is quite a lot of litter (now also a lot of old fireworks) and the gardens are generally not maintained. This could certainly be improved (:

Auto-translated to English by AIFine, it's safe to cycle home in the evening but it's not super either. And there is a huge piece of nature
Auto-translated to English by AIActually, everything is just fine. There are several eateries in the neighbourhood, supermarkets are close by, bus stops, you can park your bike easily, and with the city beach there is also a beautiful and well-known green area.
