Not a pleasant neighbourhood to live in. Lots of "special" tenants with mental health care, Brijder Stichting, TBS, alcohol and drug users. I only feel safe when I'm inside my home. The housing association does nothing about the noise and smell nuisance. For 15 years I've regularly had the smell of weed in my home. A mentally disturbed neighbour who makes noise and has threatened me several times, at least one death threat. Cars parked outside the lines, blocking the road to my home. But now the municipality has placed extra concrete bollards, which helps. Neighbours who think the law and rules don't apply to them and then complain about my garden. A noisy, small child upstairs who screams and yells constantly, and is generally unruly, with the mother screaming back. The homes are so poorly soundproofed that I can hear my neighbour sneeze. Unfortunately, I cannot move.
Auto-translated to English by AIVery self-contained. There is some social contact with some residents. The secondary school students cause unrest because they use drugs or smoke weed during breaks. They do this in the streets around Jan arentz secondary school. The park causes a lot of firework use, which means there is a lot of noise especially at night.
