Welgelegen is a lively, urban area with a mix of stately houses and smaller workers' cottages. One resident describes it as a "Cosy neighbourhood" with an "atmospheric neighbourhood with nice neighbours" and "houses with a stately character". But another review warns of "huge drug problems" and "cars speed by", so it's not without its challenges. The area is densely populated (3,906 addresses per km²) and has a young skew: 40% of residents are between 25 and 45. Only a quarter of homes are owner-occupied, making this house somewhat unusual.

Atmospheric neighbourhood with nice neighbours. Houses with a stately character interspersed with smaller workers' cottages. You can feel the history, you can walk straight into the city centre.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's fine to live here, as long as you stay in your own house. There are huge drug problems in the neighbourhood and cars speed by. So cats can't safely go outside either.
