I've lived here for 12 years, mostly with great pleasure. It's generally a quiet neighbourhood with little nuisance. The houses are quite noisy though, so you can hear the neighbours. Especially when they turn up the music, but luckily that's not too often or for long. We have a street app where we lend things and help each other, and sometimes organise things together, which is also nice. And as a whole street we campaigned for a greener square, and that has now happened. There is a supermarket in the neighbourhood and a few shops, but no dentist, GP or school. Those are all in the next district. So that could be better. But there is a community centre, playground and course centre, Edanz, which also organises all sorts of things for the neighbourhood, such as community vegetable gardens and a pick-your-own garden, and offers a healthy meal almost daily for a donation, and cheap bicycle repairs. Volunteers work there, so there is also an opportunity to volunteer for the neighbourhood.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's a cosy neighbourhood with lots of greenery where owners and renters live on the same street. I feel safe on my street but not in the whole district. Some streets are a bit worse and feel less safe. Many houses have been renovated, but there are also bad houses with mould, especially the flats, and poorer people live there, so there is quite a lot of poverty in this district. Although I do get the impression that it's less bad in our neighbourhood. The gardens are tidy and it looks well-maintained. Unfortunately, there is often dog poo on the pavement. There is no school in my neighbourhood, only in surrounding districts. There are shops and other amenities nearby, but only one in the district and the rest not. We work together to make the street nicer.
