How residents experience their district
We say hello when you pass each other, but otherwise nobody really bothers with each other. Everyone does their own thing. It usually feels safe, but sometimes strange things happen, like license plates being stolen from several cars in the neighbourhood. On weekends, rowdy people cycle by after a night out in the city, and on evenings when AZ plays, people cycle by with football scarves and later you can faintly hear the football sounds outside. The Albert Heijn within walking distance is nice and the butcher 't Smithe is fantastic!

How residents experience their municipality
Nare buurt. Veel wantrouwen tussen de bewoners. Veel geluidsoverlast dag en nacht. Veel straatvuil. Mensen zetten vuil naast de ondergrondse afval containers. De angst regeert. Mensen spreken elkaar niet aan op gedrag. Voortuinen vol tegels. De huizen zijn oud en gehorig.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's every man for himself, no cleaning up, just making a mess, not looking out for each other or taking each other into consideration.
Auto-translated to English by AIUnsafe in the evenings
Auto-translated to English by AIAll facilities in the neighbourhood, nice neighbours, only shame about the youth causing unrest. And that the youth don't clean up their mess, so very unhygienic in the neighbourhood. Cleaning up a bit works wonders.
Auto-translated to English by AIGreat neighbourhood typical Alkmaar feels like city and village in one
Auto-translated to English by AIHave lived here for 43 years. Since the completion. It used to be a cosy, friendly neighbourhood. Now you could lie dead in your house and no one would notice. I'm from Amsterdam and I'm not used to this. Here it's every man for himself and God for us all.
Auto-translated to English by AICosy flat, unfortunately the one next to it is less safe. Improvement is that more attention is paid to safety and conditions around the flat next door.
Auto-translated to English by AIDecent, few burglaries. I live in the city so fairly little greenery, but enough within a few minutes' drive
