Lunetten zuid is a fairly extensive area, but there are common characteristics: There is little traffic on the streets, even the ring road is relatively quiet. Many houses are situated around a shared green space with some play facilities. This quickly creates a bond with the neighbours. Because Lunetten is separated from the city by a park and forts, which are part of the UNESCO heritage, it has some village-like features. If you value your privacy and don't like contact, then Leidsche rijn is more likely a place where you'll feel at home. Lunetten is not a place of high fences, but rather has a scent of granola with a hint of wokeness. If you feel at home with that, you are very welcome, but if you are not willing to do something for the neighbourhood or your neighbours, there are plenty of other places where you will feel at home.

Auto-translated to English by AII worked at the Musketon for a long time. There are almost no financial resources to renovate the bar. Destruction has a negative effect on me. Now I have been working at Lister Centraal Bureau for 14 years and have had problems with men on a sexual level 4 times in the neighbourhood. Been abused. I also lived in the sbwu out of necessity from November 1996 to August 2009. It's not always safe there either. Supervision is often good. But sometimes there are weird types around who ruin things. I know several people from the neighbourhood. Some are very friendly. I am also happy with the students in the neighbourhood.
