The De Hoogte neighbourhood
The De Hoogte neighbourhood is a quiet, green area where owners and renters live side by side. Two residents describe it as a 'cosy working-class neighbourhood with nice houses and friendly people'. One notes: 'It's generally a quiet neighbourhood with little nuisance. The houses are quite noisy though, so you can hear the neighbours.'

Most households are single-person, and the area is densely built with a mix of flats and houses.
