The Venserpolder-Oost neighbourhood
Venserpolder-Oost is a mixed neighbourhood with a strong sense of community. One resident says: "It's a very nice neighbourhood and there is a community centre called Boeninhuis and it's so nice there, the teacher helps a lot, there is a food bank, there are shops, and there is an AH to go at the station. It's a very pleasant neighbourhood to live in; everyone helps everyone when needed." Another resident describes it as "a very nice neighbourhood but it could be better." A third review is highly critical, calling it "the hell in the Netherlands" and citing issues with safety and cleanliness. Based on three reviews, opinions are divided. The area is densely populated with many single-person households, and most homes were built between 1970 and 1990. For more details, see the Venserpolder-Oost neighbourhood.
