Unfriendly and insular

You live together but you're not neighbours. No cosiness, chatting or anything like that. Just noise, unpleasantness and shouting. Always something blocked off from the road.

Decent neighbourhood but could be better

I've lived here my whole life but the neighbourhood is making progress so maybe my ratings will be higher in a year's time.

Amazing!

First of all, I want to say this is really a top neighbourhood. Everyone looks out for each other. Together you are naturally stronger. This neighbourhood is definitely a plus point. Unfortunately, the downside is the busyness in the morning. The main roads are almost always congested every morning.
