Auto-translated to English by AIHey, I'm Dyde and I'm 17 years old. I've lived here for a large part of my life and generally have nothing negative to say about this neighbourhood. Mostly elderly people and children live here. It gives a safe feeling, with the essentials within walking distance. Plenty of playgrounds and child-friendliness. I never hear about strange things happening here or anything like that, and I'm very satisfied with it! Ps. Sorry if my sentence structure isn't perfect, it's late :)
