Auto-translated to English by AII've been living in this neighbourhood for about 7 years now. Where I live specifically, there are many elderly people. They like to chat and the atmosphere is always pleasant! It's fairly quiet and looks nice, with a kind of Swedish-style houses. When you drive in, it feels a bit like a holiday park. I hope to live here for many more years (:
