It could be better, of course, because there are many 'smart alecs' who cut across the Generaal Spoorlaan, and who fly through the neighbourhood like a cannonball. Other than that, it's okay, and I'm satisfied here." Another calls it "cosy and nicely quiet". The neighbourhood has around 810 inhabitants, with a mix of ages and household types. The Presidentenbuurt neighbourhood is a small, established area where most homes were built between 1970 and 1990.
