It's a very nice neighbourhood to live in, but there's little to do for young people and also few nice eateries and employment opportunities to bring people together in a good and safe way and offer work and future prospects. In this area we have to deal with a lot of traffic nuisance, think illegal street races/extremely fast driving and people parking antisocially and throwing their rubbish around. It's a shame that this friendly neighbourhood lacks some things to make it a more prosperous area with higher well-being again. So more restaurants, sports clubs, community gardens and fun play and sports equipment could be placed. And for example walking initiatives, a winter market, a King's Day market, a decorated neighbourhood tour for Christmas. Maybe even an extra food court. In terms of traffic, I really hope for more speed bumps and more speed cameras because. In terms of hygiene, they could place more rubbish bins and perhaps clearer places where larger bulky waste is collected once a week to prevent litter.

One resident calls it a 'Nice friendly neighbourhood' but points out issues like traffic nuisance and a lack of amenities for young people. It's a mixed area with families and singles, and there's room for improvement in community spirit.
The nearest train station is 3.7 km away, so it's not within walking distance for a daily commute. You'd likely need a bike or bus to get there. The area is well-connected by road, but the station itself is a bit of a trek.
There are several schools within walking distance. The closest primary school is P.C. basisschool De Windroos, about 240 m away, and obs De Wijde Wereld is around 320 m. For secondary education, PrO De Baander and 't Hooghe Landt are both within 500 m, so children can walk or cycle easily.

The energy label is B, which means the house is reasonably energy-efficient. You'll have lower heating costs compared to older homes with labels E, F or G, but it's not as efficient as a modern A-label home. The insulation and heating system are likely decent, but you might still want to consider further improvements.
