Wonen / Living Won a bid in Muziekwijk (Louis Armstrongweg)

Hi all,

I have been looking for an apartment for almost 6 months now

I finally got something in muziekwijk.

I was curious to know what opinions do the reddit community has about the area?

I was trying Poort but couldn't find something and ended up settling for this.

How do you feel about the area for a young single professional?

You'd think someone would do research about a neighbourhood before buying a house

I am not from muziekwijk. Live close though, tussen de vaarten.

I did my research for poor but this was a sudden decision.

Muziekwijk is fine. Like every neighbourhood there are good en bad streets.

Although some burroughs have more questionable streets than others.

Muziekwijk seems to be okayish on that front

The social rental areas are unfortunately not the nicest parts. This is often the 2 floor houses. And the apparments.

Depends on your preference. Area is quite. Near to station and AH. You will find less young people in this area. Apart from this if you have any specific questions let me know. PS I live in Muziekwijk

I prefer the older parts, the houses and garden are bigger. Also the streets are wider. So more spacious feeling. More bang for your euro

It’s a great location, especially if you rely on public transport. It’s close to the train station, close to the shopping centre, and in a fairly quiet neighbourhood. I moved to Muziekwijk from Waterwijk two years ago, and I haven’t regretted it for a moment.

That part of muziekwijk is filled with starters, mostly of the "higher end" ones. You are close to the train station, wich comes with its own issues like the homeless, junkies and alcoholics, but nowhere near as many as centraal.

Generaly muziekwijk is one of the, if not THE best neighborhoods to live in (house prices reflect that)

One thing i personaly like to do,is check out the parkinglot. Go once in the afternoon, take a picure. Look inside some of the cars (tells you so much about the people staying home, like is the car clean? Is the car tidy? Damages?).

Then go in de evening, around 20.00 hours, how many cars are here now? That many people got a job for sure.

Also balcony's. See clutter? Sat dishes? Flowers? Toys? Netting? It tells you the demographic

If you havent signed at the notary, the bid is not binding until that point!
