Auto-translated to English by AIIncreasing greenery, everything in the neighbourhood.
Auto-translated to English by AIVery centrally located in the shopping district and easily accessible by public transport or bike. A park and two forests within walking distance. Usually very busy on the streets at weekends and sometimes an unsafe atmosphere on the streets at night.
Auto-translated to English by AIGood and accessible, occasionally parking problems but that is to be expected for the centre. Furthermore, a neighbourhood with lots of greenery and generally communicative, friendly neighbours. Definitely recommended to live here.
