Auto-translated to English by AII've lived here for 33 years and I still walk around proudly at how beautiful the neighbourhood is, but connections and social contacts have deteriorated in the last few years, partly due to the "inbreeding" and greater differences between rich and poor.

The asking price of €375,000 is 45% below the average asking price in Burgwal (€684,332) and also below the median of €549,000.
