Auto-translated to English by AIQuiet neighbourhood, nice neighbours, unfortunately little to do for children. Accessibility is good, also public transport nearby. It is tidy and there are enough schools for the child's development.
Auto-translated to English by AIA safe feeling with (usually) nice neighbours and residents. Also, everything is easily accessible by car due to many roads that run through it. There isn't much greenery to be found, so I think that could be improved by means of a small park, etc.
