How residents experience their neighbourhood
Nice surroundings, quiet, convenient location relative to the A44 (though there are various road closures and diversions until 2030 due to bridge replacements). There are no shops, but a mobile shop comes three times a week for last-minute groceries, otherwise you drive to Sassenheim, Lisse or Nieuw-Vennep. Things are regularly organised in both De Buitenkaag and De Kaag, and thanks to that I've already met several villagers, which makes living here pleasant. A local newspaper appears a few times a year with all sorts of useful information and articles about the villages, residents and/or activities. Very handy!
Auto-translated to English by AIHalf the neighbours are racists. I am foreign and they can't accept that well; I was bullied and harassed for the first 2 years I lived here. But at some point the neighbourhood became nice.

It's quite quiet and damp. It's also very cosy, children enjoy playing with each other.
Auto-translated to English by AIFortunately, everything is reasonably close by, such as Haarlem, Hoofddorp.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's lovely living here, you know the neighbours, contact, and close to a small park, shops, and a retirement home. Pleasant, 10 minutes' walk to a recreational lake.
Auto-translated to English by AIWe have reasonable contact with each other, but if you don't have family in the neighbourhood, you could lie dead in your house for a month; it's still every man for himself. For hygiene, the streets are not cleaned, the street is uneven, you have to watch where you walk. For housing, more maintenance is needed; my house is damp, my kitchen lock is broken, the skylight hasn't been fixed properly, and I'm heating like crazy to keep warm, and it's only November.
Auto-translated to English by AIUnaffordable houses are being built, facilities lag behind. Refuse trucks are always on time but the bins and waste containers are not emptied often, resulting in mess on and along the roads and pavements. One road leading to Bloemenbuurt that is full of rubbish due to new construction and through traffic. Too many Moroccan people. Good schools though.

Auto-translated to English by AII came to live at Oostmoor 22 when it was new. At first, very good contact with the fellow residents. Now partly - owner-occupied homes - the contact hasn't improved. Everyone lives in their own bubble, also caused by both partners working. People have no time for others. I myself make frequent use of the neighbourhood centre Linguenda, for a cup of coffee and a meal twice a month. Organised by volunteers. Even though the neighbourhood centre is centrally located in the area, it is still unknown to many. I also go to the meeting centre and C PUNT, to meet others and the belote club. For many elderly people, using a PC or laptop is somewhat complicated, and they therefore miss out on some information. I also use the supermarket for communication; you always run into someone you haven't seen in a while. Ludwig Fauser. optionally phone number 0640391865.
