Bus lines and main roads within 5 minutes. Also enough schools at every level. In short, 'a place to be'." Another resident mentions: "Cosy flat with many elderly residents. A nice dog walking area that I look out onto. Also a beautiful park. However, too few shops, so little choice unfortunately. Only the park is not lit and there are regularly homeless people who also sleep in the bushes! The park is well maintained though. In short, I am very satisfied with the neighbourhood."
