How residents experience their district
Very dangerous my neighbourhood. I work as a volunteer for the last 32 years, but the situation is very very dangerous. Police don't listen. There is no gathering of the neighbourhood in the last two years. I always clean my street. Geeren Zuid Park. I have worked with Werk aan de wijk. I made art workshops. Municipality Breda didn't give 400 euros for material costs, only gave 200, so I asked my family for 1000 US dollars so I could buy materials. I'm sorry, but senior people get no respect here in Breda. (I was racially abused by a security guard in ALDI supermarket as I was giving my trolley to an old lady.) It hurts a lot as I worked for United Nations Goodwill Ambassadors for the last 50 long years, UNICEF, UNESCO, SAVE THE CHILDREN, NCIV Mr Pronk, Voices Of The Earth, for enlightenment in the visions of tomorrow. Pass the torch on to others. Hold on to the memories of yesterday. Even a small memory goes a long, long way and fulfils its purpose in eternity. Quote by M. Bugi.

Auto-translated to English by AIWell, I think it's going downhill. I've lived here for 26 years. Everything is mixed together and that sometimes clashes. I don't have any trouble with anyone, I don't meddle with anyone either, I greet everyone and go back inside. Recently they kicked in the gates and the sheds because I live downstairs and they looked in mine, but there was only junk. I think they were looking for electric bikes. Well, I don't have a scooter, so tough luck. No, the neighbourhood is going downhill. It's a shame because I like living here, but there's no cosiness anymore. At 6 o'clock you don't see a soul outside. I sit in my garden and I just don't see anyone walking on the galleries, because that's what I look out onto. I was born in a working-class neighbourhood, everything was different there. We were there for each other and at the time we'd have coffee together and have a good gossip hahahahah. That's not the case here, which I think is a shame. Groendijplein is also difficult to reach for deliveries, that's also rubbish. You have to go to a pickup point. I don't have a car, so you have to bother people again to give me a lift. Really annoying. This used to be a 55-plus flat, now it's not anymore. Everything mixed together.
Auto-translated to English by AII grew up here and have lived in Breda since birth. I do think the neighbourhood could use a new facility. When young people want to do something here in Geeren Zuid, they usually go to the shopping centre, which only results in more loitering youths.

Auto-translated to English by AIIt's a decent neighbourhood overall, but around the shops it can sometimes be unsafe. There are sometimes characters who find girls a bit too interesting.
Auto-translated to English by AII am currently doing an internship in Hart voor Breda Noord, where we deal with many residents and issues in the neighbourhood. The neighbourhood is very pleasant to live in, though not always safe as there are many incidents. This could of course be better; deploying a lot of police would not be a good idea, as it only scares the residents! Furthermore, more camera surveillance and weekly patrols would sometimes be nice. A neighbourhood officer who is social and open to the neighbourhood and residents could help a lot with this. In terms of location, residents, accessibility, and social cohesion, it is a good neighbourhood. Our neighbourhood is seen as a deprived area, which actually carries a negative connotation, while if you have lived here for 20 years, you have a very different view than people from outside the neighbourhood. It is a cosy neighbourhood with a lot of diversity, which you might think would not promote social cohesion, but that is certainly the case. We are interested in each other's culture and way of life, and this actually brings everyone closer together! Our differences also make us special compared to others. Not everyone knows each other in the neighbourhood, but from what I have experienced, everyone, regardless of their situation, gets along well. We also take good care of the neighbourhood itself; streets are mostly always tidy, filled with trees and small canals, very beautiful. And then we have the various large diverse playgrounds, from swings to zip lines, found in almost every corner! Very nice for both children and the whole family :).
Auto-translated to English by AIWhether it's summer or winter, it's always cosy in the Belcrum! There's lots of greenery and fun things to do for children! Traffic follows the rules. A perfect neighbourhood for your family and your children!

Auto-translated to English by AISafety is good. Hygiene is good, slightly less in some places because there is a McDonald's where some people don't clean up their rubbish. I don't have any trouble with this, and occasionally someone from McDonald's comes to clean it up. So I gave it a passing grade. Housing is also good. Everything is spacious. Accessibility for cars and cyclists is good. There is also a station reasonably close by. There is no school in the neighbourhood, so no education. You have to cycle a bit for that. About the community: it's fine. There is a neighbourhood party every year, but nothing more. I don't feel the need for that either. The neighbourhood is also reasonably green because the houses are spaced out. Many people have greenery in their own gardens. Just as there is no school, there are also no facilities. You have to cycle a bit for that again. Conclusion: I live well here. The neighbourhood is especially suitable for people who want to live spaciously and quietly. For elderly people who have difficulty walking, this neighbourhood is not suitable.
Auto-translated to English by AIGreat!! Everyone knows each other. (except the Dutch residents who have recently moved in) If these people also make an effort to get to know the Moluccan residents, it will only get better. After the renovation, quite a few owner-occupied houses with Dutch residents have been added. If both parties make some effort to adapt, we will become a beautiful residential area.

Auto-translated to English by AII have lived in Kroeten my whole life, and have always lived positively here. It is a nice, tidy neighbourhood with various amenities nearby.
Auto-translated to English by AII haven't been living here very long, about six months I think, but I immediately felt at home. The Mastbos is literally around the corner for a lovely walk, as is the Ginniken square for nice restaurants and cafés. The Albert Heijn is a 5-minute bike ride or a 15-minute walk. The station is a 15-20 minute bike ride. There are many large, beautiful houses to admire here, the atmosphere feels very village-like, and it's all very lovely. It also feels safe.
Auto-translated to English by AIBeautiful, we help each other with a joint barbecue and a neighbourhood chat. It's great here. A chat is part of it every now and then.
Auto-translated to English by AII myself quite like living here
