How residents experience their neighbourhood
Social housing right in the middle of an owner-occupied neighbourhood. Two different types of people. Where the homeowners think they are above the social tenants. At every little thing, the police. You don't even dare to breathe freely without hassle. But... they do let their dog out in your front garden and on your doormat. You just don't want to live here. It's too much to describe it all.

How residents experience their district
I don't know everyone in my neighbourhood but most are friendly. The neighbourhood is close to the central station and close to the city centre, there is also a park and a dog park nearby. There is a special primary school at the end of the street. They organise something fun every year for Halloween. It is safe, almost nothing ever happens.
Auto-translated to English by AImy experience with the neighbourhood is quite okay. there is a supermarket not too far from where I live, the bus stop is also nearby and that's nice. Furthermore, my school is also next to where I live (Leerpark) and I often enjoy sitting outside in the park on the grass and going for walks.
Auto-translated to English by AIThe neighbourhood is safe and fine, but there are too many schools, which quickly leads to a lot of litter and rubbish everywhere and nuisance. The youngsters, out of boredom or to smoke secretly, walk through all the streets here and don't stay at their own school; sometimes they're also in the park and shout things at you. Also, there's only one supermarket in the area, but all the students/secondary school pupils do their 'shopping' for lunch there during free periods and breaks, which makes it really not a pleasant experience. Also, there's no normal gym within walking distance and there are hardly any or no eateries in the area.

How residents experience their municipality
Social residents who are there for each other. The children have plenty of playgrounds, supermarket nearby and affordable homes. Few bad tenants so little nuisance. Nature and Wantij within a stone's throw. Couldn't be better.
Auto-translated to English by AIIn itself a nice place to live with many amenities and good accessibility. But there is litter and dog poop everywhere, making it very grimy.

Auto-translated to English by AIBeautiful walking area along the river the Wantij on the Maasstraat. Supermarket and primary school within walking distance. The community centre with the adjacent playground looks shabby, especially because of the old pole with satellite dishes, and there is also a very outdated asphalt square next to the community centre, which gives a desolate impression when you first enter the neighbourhood. That is a shame and gives a wrong impression of the cosy and beautiful neighbourhood. The renovated houses in the adjacent Noorderkwartier are of a beautiful architectural style from the 1920s and 1930s. Most people still say hello to each other here, as if you live in a village, especially the older residents who like to chat create a cosy and friendly atmosphere.

Auto-translated to English by AIMy neighbourhood is often dismissed by outsiders as a deprived area. That word alone conjures up images of problems, statistics and stigma. But those who actually live here know that the story is much more layered than that. The flats and terraced houses are not new, sometimes even a bit worn. Stairwells bear the marks of years of use and in some places maintenance leaves something to be desired. Yet people live here who do their best every day to make something of it. Families who have lived on the same street for generations, young people playing football on the square until it gets dark, and elderly people watching everything from their balcony, missing nothing. You hear multiple languages mixed together here. Not because people live alongside each other, but because the neighbourhood is a mix of cultures, backgrounds and stories. Sometimes it clashes, sometimes it rubs, but often a form of togetherness emerges that you see less in 'nicer' neighbourhoods. Everyone knows who lives on the street, who needs help and who you'd better avoid. There are problems too. That cannot be denied. Unemployment, money worries and occasional nuisance are part of daily life. Police and enforcement patrol the area more often than in other neighbourhoods. But that doesn't mean there are no norms or values here. Calling each other out on behaviour doesn't always happen by the book.
