Nice neighbourhood with lots of greenery

Pleasant, quiet neighbourhood where many activities are organised. Because the streets are quite narrow, people don't drive fast. The hospital is within walking distance. There is a cycle path, the motorway is nearby, there are many sports and play facilities. There is also a forest nearby, where there are also many sports and play facilities and where dogs can run off-leash.

Living alone

It's a beautiful neighbourhood, but it lacks a bit of cosiness. We never really do anything; I hardly know anyone myself. There are also very few children living here (mostly elderly people), so it also lacks that childish joy.
