A wonderful environment to live in. Everything is within walking distance: shops, station, parks. Beautiful cycle paths and very good public transport. Little nuisance. City feel, yet a quiet environment. Primary school across the street and 3 secondary schools less than 10 minutes away by bike. I am privileged to live here, in a new-build apartment.
