Experiences from Afrika
How residents experience their neighbourhood
I think it's a very nice neighbourhood to live in. We ourselves don't have much contact with all the neighbours, so I can't say whether our area is good in that regard, but that of course also depends on the residents themselves. There are many schools nearby, so plenty of choice. There are also many public transport options, so you are well connected to other cities, which is nice for students like me. Public transport here is not flawless, but certainly not bad either. There is a meadow nearby and almost everywhere in Purmerend you have a canal with a cycling/walking path, which are nice places to walk dogs. A large part of the Afrika neighbourhood is connected by water, so you can also go boating and swimming. The neighbourhoods often look well-maintained. You usually find a can or a piece of paper here and there, but I think that's the case everywhere. As for facilities: there is a cinema, hospital, bowling alley, swimming pool, several parks and playgrounds. Supermarkets are abundant: Lidl, Dirk, Spar, several Vomar and Albert Heijn stores. There are also plenty of cafes and restaurants. In the centre, which is a 15-minute bike ride away, you also have shops like H&M, Only, Douglas, Ici Paris XL. There is also Weidevenne shopping centre, which is even closer, where you can find everything for your groceries. There is a market there every Thursday and in the centre every Tuesday.

Experiences from Purmerend
How residents experience their municipality
Fijne buurt, gezellig, veilig en vooral vriendelijk en kind vriendelijk. Veel kleine kinderen die genieten om buiten te spelen! Veel school keuzes en centrum super dichtbij alles is dichtbij, wat je maar wilt je kunt alle kanten op overal is er iets gezellig te doen, want je ligt aardig centraal en zeer dichtbij niet meer dan 10 minuten loop afstand. En als je toch moet reizen dan heb je 3 of meer snelwegen keuzen, je bent ook na werk zo thuis terug! Nog nooit hang jongeren gezien in de straat en nog nooit last gehad van niks! Zeer oneens met de eerdere commentaar en ik woon heel lang hier en zal ook nog meer jaren wonen :-P Hele goede buren en je kunt altijd parkeren!
Auto-translated to English by AIQuiet and clean with a decent shopping centre in the neighbourhood
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's getting more and more criminal here. You can no longer safely enter the park. Robberies, threats especially; by the youth. People have a short fuse, it's better to keep your mouth shut. The rental houses are being partially sold, and that creates tensions among residents. I wouldn't know how to improve safety.
Auto-translated to English by AINo problem, I've lived here for 45 years, so I'm certainly happy. When someone passes away, we fly the flag at half-mast and honour them. Our flats have been renovated, completely maintenance-free, everyone is happy. Bus at the door, supermarket etc. 5 minutes walk, all that. Older, so it's nice to live here.
Auto-translated to English by AICan live here nicely, everything renovated, although there is often gossiping and peeping. I close my door and mind my own business, that's best. I certainly wouldn't want to be carried out of here and hopefully I can someday return to my hometown Hoorn, but for now it's okay.
Auto-translated to English by AIHave been living here for over a year and a half with great pleasure. Neighbourly help and cosy. More trees, for shade when it's hot.
Auto-translated to English by AIQuiet neighbourhood with nice people
Auto-translated to English by AIIn my neighbourhood there is a lot of nature. There is a road near my house, but you can't see it because there is a large strip of land with tall trees in between. This also blocks the noise. I have nice neighbours and a cosy neighbourhood. I am very satisfied.
