It's all fine but nothing special. There is some nuisance from youths, and often litter on the street.
Auto-translated to English by AII live in Coolhaven! Opposite a school, which is really nice because it always gives a cosy atmosphere and I don't really have much trouble with noise. I live in a studio and prefer neighbours and a green view; at first there was quite a lot of construction but now that has also decreased a lot.
