It is a social neighbourhood of students, young people, families and many single people. People greet each other easily. With the many pubs it is lively, little going on. I experience it as a social neighbourhood where people are there for each other and easily strike up a conversation. I feel safe here in the neighbourhood and don't mind taking a walk in the evening. Many shops, GPs, pharmacy, supermarket, hairdressers and dining options. Also very nice that there are children living in the area and the community centre is always nice to stay with many activities.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's a cosy and, in my opinion, fairly safe neighbourhood. I've never felt uncomfortable, at least. Not during the day or late at night. I don't experience much nuisance and am otherwise very happy with the place where I live.

Auto-translated to English by AIOosterpoort is a nice neighbourhood, lately there have been some strange people hanging around, but nothing to worry about. It's relatively far from the city and we're a bit in our own village in Groningen. But then you're still in the centre in 5 minutes, mate.
