Auto-translated to English by AIThe neighbourhood is very cosy. There are many events on the Kruis that are often very enjoyable for young and old. The architecture of the houses doesn't match well. And the neighbours are all friendly and everyone knows each other a bit. We are only quite far from the station and I think there is little entertainment in the neighbourhood.

Auto-translated to English by AII lived in a city for years and since moving here it feels much safer. The only thing I miss is nature, forests, etc., and that's hard to reach without a car or a long bike ride. For example, going to Bergen aan Zee or Schoorl requires taking the bus via Alkmaar station, which is quite a detour and expensive for a walk or an evening to blow off steam. The AH and the Toko versmarkt are great. But I wish for a Bakker Bart or Hema in the neighbourhood. Or at least more familiar shops that are affordable. The clothing boutiques are very inaccessible. That's why charity shops are so important in this neighbourhood. I also found it a shame that too little is invested in charity shops. One has already gone bankrupt for this reason and the last one is threatening to do so. Furthermore, it can be difficult to get in touch with people. Because everyone in a village knows each other. But if you're new, as far as I know there aren't really activities or community centres. Especially as a 20-something, that's a shame. Otherwise, I think it's really great how much has been invested in greenery and flowers. That will do the bees a lot of good! And if a park were ever to be made, that would be even better for the greenery.
