De Hoogte
De Hoogte is described by residents as a cosy working-class neighbourhood with nice houses and friendly people. One resident says: "I've lived here for 12 years, mostly with great pleasure. It's generally a quiet neighbourhood with little nuisance." Another notes: "It's a cosy neighbourhood with lots of greenery where owners and renters live on the same street."

The neighbourhood De Hoogte is home to around 4,140 people, mostly single-person households, and the area is very urban with a high density of addresses.
