How residents experience their neighbourhood
It's always nice and quiet there, everyone knows each other and goes to each other's for coffee. There are also plenty of neighbourhood parties. Accessibility. Everything is easy to reach by public transport, unfortunately only by train and no buses. What could be improved is that more should be done for public transport where I live.
