Smitsveen: a mixed bag of quiet and noise
Smitsveen is a fairly urban area with over 4,900 residents, mostly families and couples. The two reviews on Buurtje give a split picture: one resident calls it "Good and quiet", while another says "Neighbourhood is very noisy, often shouting and screaming at the door. The houses are very noisy, especially if you have several children living next to you who are constantly running and flying in and out." So it really depends on your immediate neighbours. The neighbourhood has a good mix of ages, with plenty of children and older people. Smitsveen is well served by shops and schools.
