Bad neighbourhood, it was the only house I could get unfortunately! Lots of scum live here and many foreigners, it looks like the Bijlmer in Amsterdam. A lot of rubbish is dumped on the streets, you don't see much police in the area. A lot of violence on the streets by fatbike youths.
Auto-translated to English by AIToo many immigrants are moving in, causing a lot of problems. A lot of nuisance from loitering youths and fireworks. It used to be a nice working-class neighbourhood, unfortunately not anymore.
Auto-translated to English by AII've been living here for 3 weeks now. The people I've met so far are all very friendly. I look out onto Oosterpark, very tree-rich. Very pleasant to live.
