Not safe. Many burglaries and many people do not feel safe in this neighbourhood.
Auto-translated to English by AINeighbourhood is not safe, back gardens of the municipality are a real mess! The municipality does nothing about it! Give the gardens to the residents, then at least they will be maintained! A mess for many years!!

How residents experience their municipality
Fijne woonomgeving, met winkels en groen in de buurt. Ook snel bij centrum Deventer en station.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt is visibly unsafe in the neighbourhood. Drugs are used, there are many loitering youths and graffiti. The public space is cheaply furnished. Houses are from the 1960s and in a state of disrepair. There is a lot of litter on the streets and sometimes problems with mice and other vermin. There is no neighbourhood supermarket, unless you count the petrol station. The square with amenities looks neglected.
Auto-translated to English by AIQuiet, fine, village-like, lots of nature/gardens, forest. Beautiful cycling routes…. Safe.

Auto-translated to English by AIWe have been living here for 20 years with great pleasure. It is quiet living and a very clean environment. Lots of greenery and a petting zoo nearby.
Auto-translated to English by AIEverything within walking distance. 15 minutes by bike and you're right in the middle of nature! Public transport a 7-minute walk away! Theatre, restaurants, museums all within walking distance! The IJssel, where you can sit by the water, also nearby. What more could a person want!
Auto-translated to English by AII don't have much contact with the neighbours, but I work as a cashier in the supermarket we have here, so I do come into contact with many people in the neighbourhood. I've lived here for over 10 years and we have a nice petting zoo. 3 primary schools make it a hub for many families. It's usually quiet here, but unfortunately the youth on fatbikes cause regular nuisance.
Auto-translated to English by AIDiepeveen is a super beautiful and cosy village surrounded by nature, where everyone knows each other and is friendly, with schools nearby, plenty of space for young people to play or hang out, and moreover a stone's throw from Deventer.
