I've lived here my whole life and have little to complain about; not all neighbours are equally nice, but it has always been a pleasant neighbourhood. Playground, shops, schools, everything is nearby. I always enjoyed it here as a child too. There are occasionally some things that are less good, but compared to most neighbourhoods, I don't think it's severe. 3 minutes' walk to the forest and schools, 5 minutes to Lidl. People do throw a lot of rubbish on the ground, but unfortunately this is the case everywhere...
Auto-translated to English by AIIt has deteriorated a lot in recent years, a lot of rubbish on the street. Noise, fireworks, you name it. I still live here but would rather move if I could. I don't feel very unsafe during the day, but in the evening I prefer not to go outside.
Auto-translated to English by AII've lived in Bouwmeesterbuurt my whole life and have always found it a very pleasant neighbourhood. When I was younger, there were always children to play with and a playground. There are many schools nearby and a few shops etc. very close! It's easily accessible in many ways (car, bike, bus) and I've never really felt unsafe here!
