Experiences from Heukelum Oude Kern
How residents experience their neighbourhood
There are only junkies and there's nothing to do for slightly older children because there's almost nothing. A plus point for young children is that they can easily go to school and still enjoy the large playground.

How residents experience their municipality
If you are open-minded, you have many pleasant contacts. Unfortunately, no café or catering establishment within walking distance.
Auto-translated to English by AIOften loitering youths and vandalism during New Year's Eve with fireworks. Not a pleasant neighbourhood to live in, few facilities for the community, for children, young people and the elderly. It would be nice if more were organised within the community, and if people could get in touch with each other in a more positive way. The neighbourhoods could do with a lot more greenery!! Outside the neighbourhood there is fortunately a nice piece of estate and forest, but now there is also dissatisfaction about that because there are building plans there.
Auto-translated to English by AII've always had girlfriends here, the station is nearby and there are 2 buses every half hour
Auto-translated to English by AIQuiet area, shame about the rubbish that sometimes lies there for weeks
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's just great, I live outside the village myself but on a holiday it's a big village party. Also a nice village square with stalls every weekend and a fair and even a party tent.
Auto-translated to English by AIFine neighbourhood, a bit of everything. Elderly, young people, school around the corner and football and tennis in our own village
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's often quiet here, few burglaries and few strange people on the street.
Auto-translated to English by AIYou feel super welcome in this neighbourhood. Every year there is a village festival and almost the entire village takes part. They even take the elderly and young people into account.
