Life in Jan van Scorelbuurt
Residents of the wider district give it an average score of 7.95, based on four reviews. One resident, who has lived here for 45 years, says: "It's a beautiful neighbourhood, lots of greenery, yet close to the city, near the station, enough shops without having to go into the city centre. It's a very sought-after area; the houses have been made future-proof in recent years. It was a dump back then, and now a tiny palace." Another resident notes: "The neighbourhood is a nice place to live, I feel safe, but I don't leave my bike outside. The supermarket in the area is super handy, and there's a nice skatepark and playground nearby for the children." The neighbourhood itself has around 1,800 residents, with a high share of single-person households at 60 percent. These reviews describe the district, not just this specific neighbourhood, so they give a flavour of the wider area.
