The view is beautiful, almost nothing ever happens here, it's close to the countryside and you have many farmers (so always nice fresh products) all in all it's a cosy top neighbourhood." Another resident is less positive, saying "You can never walk through the park normally without being spoken to or almost being hit by a fatbike on the pavement.
