We live in a beautiful apartment on the Bentwoud and enjoy it every day in every season! The Bentwoud in particular is excellently maintained!!! The synergy and looking out for each other in the apartment complex disappoints us! That could be better! Otherwise, we live here just fine, and we also feel safe here!
Auto-translated to English by AIWe live on the Bentwoud, and you can see, smell and feel it! I always have the feeling that we live in a healthy environment! We also feel safe in the beautiful apartment building. The only thing that disappoints us is the sense of community in our complex Panoramique Bentwoud. Neighbours hardly know each other and have little interest in others. We often organise something but there is little to no interest, a shame especially because there are many elderly people living there who could use some help and/or attention!

Auto-translated to English by AIIt's a nice neighbourhood, close to everything
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's a really nice neighbourhood but it could be better, there's a small playground for the children and everyone lives in a terraced house which is handy because you can just walk over to reach everyone, of course very handy but some changes could be made, it's not a very hygienic environment. I've often cleaned up the area but the next day it's messy again. And the safety in this neighbourhood is just about sufficient, this is because there are often loitering youths at the playground during the day and in the evening, most children are afraid of them, I hope something can be done about this. With this I hope to win the €100 gift voucher. Greetings from the whole neighbourhood.
