Oldegalileën: a mixed, close-knit area
The Oldegalileën neighbourhood is an old working-class area with a mix of ages and backgrounds. Based on two reviews, residents describe it as cosy and convenient, though they also mention occasional street disturbances. One resident says: "Everything is within walking or cycling distance and there are plenty of supermarkets, gyms and schools nearby." Another notes: "Most neighbours are friendly though."
