Auto-translated to English by AIThe neighbours are great. The unsafe central green is a TT Assen. They sometimes have races to see who can drive the fastest. There are too few speed bumps. The ones that are there are small bumps. Accidents often happen in front of my door. Car wrapped around a pole. Children hit. Neighbourhood women, a man, and so on; the neighbourhood is unsafe in that respect.

How residents experience their municipality
I think it's a nice living environment. It's just a shame that only high-rise flats are being built. And that they are unaffordable for first-time buyers.
Auto-translated to English by AIWe will have been living here with pleasure for 40 years next year. So that says something. Only parking is sometimes a problem. Otherwise, most amenities in the neighbourhood.
Auto-translated to English by AII think it's a nice neighbourhood. Sometimes we have trouble with the youngsters on fatbikes, they ride everywhere and way too fast. But otherwise it's a nice neighbourhood.

Auto-translated to English by AII've been living here for almost 3 years now and have reasonable contact with the neighbours. I have no trouble with crime or feelings of insecurity. There is sufficient social control, but not to the point where it bothers you. The houses could use some renovation, but they are busy making them more sustainable.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's a reliable, cosy and friendly neighbourhood here! Lots of shops nearby and also public transport. The neighbours are always there for each other without asking for anything in return. We even have a group app for any emergencies. What more could you want? That's the strength of this neighbourhood.
