How is the traffic in Paddepoel-Noord?
One resident notes that busy traffic is sometimes a downside. The neighbourhood is strongly urban with high address density, so streets can be busy, especially near the shopping centre. However, the home is on Planetenlaan, which is a residential street, so it may be quieter than main roads.
What is the garden like?
The listing does not mention a garden. The plot size is 130 m², which is the same as the floor area, so the garden may be small or non-existent.
