The 7 streets

I have lived on the Eiland since 2003 and have seen it grow to what it is now. Very proud to see your neighbourhood grow like this and maintain good contacts with the entrepreneurs and residents.

It's local and you can get anywhere

If there were fewer homeless and shady people, the neighbourhood would be great. I'd like to see more greenery to be honest

Beautiful neighbourhood close to the finest amenities

I've only just moved in, but it's close to the station, the supermarket, a large park, and a 1-minute walk to my university.

Centre side

I love living on the edge of the city, you're so close to all the shops and terraces. There's also a nice park around the corner. What's missing here is the real neighbourhood feel because it's not a cosy residential area.
