Auto-translated to English by AIThe neighbourhood is cosy and quiet. The park is easily accessible and the people in the area are friendly, but there is often litter on the streets, which is a shame.
Auto-translated to English by AII personally experience little cohesion in the neighbourhood. Nevertheless, it is a cosy spot, lots of nice houses, easily accessible. Just a bit lacking in green & not always very clean.

How residents experience their municipality
Ik woon hier nu, met ups en downs qua lawaai/herrie, nu 12,5 jaar. Altijd gekozen om hier toch te blijven, gezien de fijne buren en nette straat, met de mooie Hamburgervijver om de hoek waar ik graag eens zit te relaxen. Alle voorzieningen vlakbij en bushalte aan de kade, ideaal als je vaak en graag reist :). Ik voel me hier onderhand erg veilig, in al die tijd alleen eens een brand geweest maar verder kun je hier rustig je leventje leven, veelal hoog opgeleide buren, wat prettig is in het contact. Ik ben blij dat ik hier nog steeds woon.
