People almost always greet each other here. Lots of children playing nicely outside on the street! That gives a familiar and safe feeling. So a solid pass for safety and community! And the streets always look tidy too, so I think hygiene is also more than adequate! Shops, schools and other facilities all within walking/cycling distance and easily accessible, so also a solid pass for education, housing, facilities and accessibility. Green space is a bit less, but sufficient. Because we live in the city centre, there is less greenery. There are trees and a few small parks here, but I come from the countryside myself, so this is very different. But I think it's sufficient! It's just lovely living in our neighbourhood!
