Practical location

Many foreign people live in this neighbourhood. As a result, it is very diverse but not very cosy. There is not much mixing. The houses and flats are old-fashioned and the roads are very narrow.

Neighbourhood

It's not busy or loud, I live in a very quiet area but sometimes it's a bit less quiet, that's normal of course. Other than that, I have nothing more to say about it, everything is fine :)

It's a nice neighbourhood with school, shops, woods, station!

Generally a social neighbourhood. We have lived in this neighbourhood from the start and know many residents. Parking problems do arise regularly in the area because parking facilities are no longer adequate.

Well-connected neighbourhood with many different cultures

The neighbourhood is easily accessible by bus/train/car/bicycle. Due to construction work, the neighbourhood is becoming increasingly beautiful and people drive less fast. Occasionally there are problems with crime.

Nice, pleasant neighbourhood

It's a pleasant and tidy neighbourhood. I would have liked a bit more of a sense of community, and the same goes for entertainment options. On the other hand, I feel very safe and it's nice and quiet, close to nature, but also to the station and the motorway.

There's plenty to do

The street in front of my house is busy on some days. And otherwise quiet, and on Sundays you can hear the church bells ringing and the cheaper fair.
