Residents describe Paddepoel as a neighbourhood where you get the best of both worlds. One resident says: "Living in Paddepoel feels to me like living in a small town within the city. Everything I need is close by." Another adds: "The shop is a 2-minute walk away and open until 10 PM, plus there are many other nice shops in the shopping centre." The area is a mix of students, families and older residents, which gives it a lively but unpretentious character. The neighbourhood Paddepoel-Zuid is densely built, with many single-person households, but the streets around the shopping centre are often busy in the evenings.

Living in Paddepoel feels to me like living in a small town within the city. Everything I need is close by: the shopping centre around the corner, the bus to the city centre at my doorstep, and the Zernike campus within walking distance. The neighbourhood is a mix of quiet and lively; during the day you hear children playing, and in the evenings it's often pleasantly busy around the shops. All sorts of people live here, from students to families and the elderly, which makes the area a bit chaotic but also very human. Sometimes it's a bit messy or you hear traffic, but that's part of the city. Overall, Paddepoel feels like a practical, familiar place where there's always something to do.
Auto-translated to English by AIThe shop is a 2-minute walk away and open until 10 PM, plus there are many other nice shops in the shopping centre. The municipality regularly comes by to clean and tidy up, and I have lovely neighbours.
Auto-translated to English by AIQuite a lot happens in the Paddepoel neighbourhood. Fortunately, I am less affected by it myself and I live in a nice location.
Auto-translated to English by AII haven't lived there very long yet, but from what I've seen so far it's always clean, the people are sociable and the accessibility to the shops is very good.
Auto-translated to English by AII've lived in this area for 28 years, moved once, the neighbourhood is unfortunately going downhill more and more, anyone is allowed to live here. The maintenance of the greenery could also be better, otherwise the plus points are that there are many amenities and everything is easily accessible, such as the city centre, shopping centre and the park.
