Cosy, everyone chats with each other on the street. We are kept well informed about what is happening in the neighbourhood via a newsletter. And then an information evening is held. In the playground, the neighbourhood police officer could patrol the area more often.

Despite the central location, the neighbourhood is remarkably quiet. The people here are very private and reserved; I don't know my neighbours well. Although greenery is lacking in the neighbourhood, there is a playground. All in all, the neighbourhood offers a quiet environment, despite the limited social interaction and the lack of green spaces.
