There are also many grass fields where you can play with the kids. And Seinhorst is right in the neighbourhood, so you're sure to have a supermarket, Etos, Gal&Gal, Blokker and a car park available.
Auto-translated to English by AIBeautiful green neighbourhood, but there are many roads with too few traffic lights to cross safely. Lots of playgrounds for children, a skate park and many grassy areas to play or walk the dog. A cosy neighbourhood that is accessible to almost everyone!

Auto-translated to English by AII have lived in the Besselstraat my whole life and wouldn't want to live anywhere else. Everything is nearby (think: supermarket, school, petrol station, swimming pool, playgrounds, city centre, heath/forest/park, hospital/GP/pharmacy, young and old, snack bar, small beach, etc.) and everything still has the beautiful Dudok architecture. You can leave your bike in the garden without a lock and there is very good communication between neighbours thanks to the WhatsApp neighbourhood watch. Every year a outdoor play day is organised and from 10:00 to 22:00 it's nothing but fun for young and old. We also have good rules in the neighbourhood regarding nuisance, such as set times for DIY work so that as few people as possible are bothered by it. It's always very cosy; for example, when you take a walk on the heath, almost everyone says hello to you. A very nice neighbourhood to grow up in as there are many young families. The heath always looks very clean and beautiful, there are wild bulls and you can walk/picnic/run/mountain bike from sunrise to sunset. There has been some nuisance around the Lorentzvijver by foreigners, but that is very minimal and if you don't interfere they don't do anything, just send the police.

How residents experience their municipality
Generally good but things can always be better in my opinion
Auto-translated to English by AISafe neighbourhood, occasionally some nuisance from young people
Auto-translated to English by AIWithin a reasonable distance you have supermarkets or the train station. Easily accessible from the motorway
Auto-translated to English by AIYou can easily get home without worries

Auto-translated to English by AINice area in terms of location, close to the forest, the centre and the cosy Gijsbrecht also nearby. Schools and supermarkets around the corner, really a top location. Fellow residents think too much of themselves. Small gardens, so close together and very noisy. Both young people at night and small children during the day. But a nice mix of ages.
Auto-translated to English by AINeighbourhood itself is fine. Nothing unpleasant. Only the Diependaalselaan is very busy and suffers from exhaust fumes. Speed bumps at the end would make a big difference. They always rev their engines right in front of the flats... Maybe more supervision there...
