It's a very safe neighbourhood, with friendly people. A police station nearby is also very nice. It gives a feeling of safety. Sometimes I really smell the sewage during the day, which I think is a real downside. And there is really little greenery in the area, and when there is greenery, it's not really inviting.
Auto-translated to English by AIThere are no weird people or anything, it's just a nice neighbourhood to live in and people are decent and tidy. There are many trees and a road that leads to every street. There are many schools in the area, but the two closest ones always have problems, teacher shortages, etc., people are being transferred. If children don't feel comfortable at school, often nothing is done unless it's actual bullying.
Auto-translated to English by AIThere are several cosy playgrounds and squares. There are enough primary schools in the area and several secondary schools within cycling distance. The nature is diverse (trees, plants, flowers, canals) and is well maintained by the municipality. There are various amenities within walking or cycling distance (supermarket, hairdresser, library, swimming pool, shopping centre). There are bus stops and a station nearby and several large cycle paths. By car you are quickly on the motorway. The neighbourhood is sufficiently hygienic, but there could be more frequent litter picking along the pavements and cycle paths. The neighbours are friendly, but few events are organised by and for the community. For events you usually have to go to Almere Stad.
