Experiences from Centrum Oost
How residents experience their neighbourhood
I have lived here for 24 years and love the cosiness. Too bad I experience a lot of nuisance from the fair and some events; besides the noise and the rubbish left behind, it is a magnet for rioting youths who fight full-scale battles among themselves and with the police. Nowadays, camera surveillance and a large police force are needed to make it somewhat normal, with varying success.

Auto-translated to English by AIIt's a nice neighbourhood. You're in the centre of Houten in no time, but you can also easily get to Utrecht, Den Bosch, etc. by train and car. Furthermore, there is a lot of nature nearby and around the house, which I really appreciate. There are also many schools in Houten or near Houten. Another advantage is that there are no large apartment blocks and all the houses match each other well. A downside is that in general there have been many (attempted) burglaries in Houten lately. Moreover, houses in Houten are extremely expensive, making it impossible for starters to afford a house or apartment here.

Auto-translated to English by AIWhen I came to live here 3.5 years ago, the neighbourhood was much safer than nowadays, but I can't complain about facilities and accessibility. There's nothing to say about the living itself and the location. But regarding safety: there are many incidents at Castellum around the ATM daily and with drunk homeless people harassing multiple people. This was not the case before to this extent.
Auto-translated to English by AIEvery now and then there's a smell of weed, but I can get used to it.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt is generally very safe, sometimes there are some noisy teenagers but they don't really cause any harm. My neighbours are very friendly, I've become good friends with a few. There isn't much litter on the streets and the green areas are always nice. Everything is easily accessible on foot or by bike. There are many primary schools but the quality varies a bit. As I said at the beginning, there could be more facilities.
