Since I've been living here, I've come across friendly people.
Auto-translated to English by AIBergpolder has improved significantly in recent years. Many apartments have been renovated, there is an influx of nice new residents, and the location is ideal. You do notice a clear difference in lifestyle between the old and new residents, but that is not disturbing in itself. Gentrification is underway, following the surrounding neighbourhoods, but is somewhat controlled by the large stock of (social) rental homes in the area. The result is that you can literally meet anyone here, from yuppie to student to family to asylum seeker. Everyone lives together harmoniously, but within their own bubble. Houses are old, very old, so they often need some love if they haven't been renovated yet. But the location is perfect, and there are many beautiful inner gardens that compensate for the bare streets. Everything you need is within walking distance. I think the arrival of the Hofbogenpark will give the neighbourhood a further boost. The greenery is still a bit sparse in some places in the area.

Auto-translated to English by AIFairly quiet living, though expensive, the Schieweg is often messy and there should be more benches in the neighbourhood. Here and there some green spots to enjoy nature. Supermarkets are a bit of a walk away, but there's a chip shop and a convenience store on every street corner. The Schieweg also has its own tram stop with frequent trams. Buses are scarce in the area.
