Auto-translated to English by AII've been living here for almost 3 years now and have reasonable contact with the neighbours. I have no trouble with crime or feelings of insecurity. There is sufficient social control, but not to the point where it bothers you. The houses could use some renovation, but they are busy making them more sustainable.
Auto-translated to English by AIPoorly maintained municipal gardens/shrubs. Street paving stones, which have been renewed for half of a street. And the other part has simply remained the same. After 4 years, I don't see any change coming that will fix that street. Very annoying that the last part is easily accessible because it has been renewed, while the beginning part is as crooked as can be. Postboxes disappear. Street lamps are as crooked as can be, or don't work. Bulky waste is not collected on time despite an appointment and money being paid to pick up that rubbish. Underground containers are often jammed. So you have to walk with your rubbish bags to the other side of the street! Cars cannot access the street itself. Very handy (ahem) for ambulances, etc.

About Briljantdrift 39, Nieuwegein
The asking price of €459,000 is in line with the market for a mid-terrace house of 105 m² in Driften-Noord. The energy label B adds to its appeal, as it means lower energy costs compared to older homes. Without specific neighbourhood price data, it's hard to say if it's a bargain, but it's not overpriced for the area.
The energy label is B, which is quite good for a house built in 1976. It means the home is reasonably energy-efficient, so you can expect moderate heating bills. Many homes in the neighbourhood are older, so this one performs better than average.
The nearest train station is 7.5 km away, so it's not within walking distance. You would need a car or bus to reach it. The area is more car-dependent for longer journeys.
There are several primary schools within walking distance: De Meander (249 m), Prinses Margrietschool (286 m), and Beatrixschool (449 m). For secondary education, the nearest school is 2.2 km away, so a bike or bus is needed.
Residents report mixed feelings. One says: "I have no trouble with crime or feelings of insecurity. There is sufficient social control." However, another mentions issues like poorly maintained street lamps and bulky waste collection. The total number of crimes recorded in the neighbourhood is 69, which is moderate for an urban area.
Jumbo is just 320 m away, so you can walk there in a few minutes. Boon's Markt (648 m) and Albert Heijn (777 m) are also within easy reach. For daily groceries, you have plenty of options nearby.
