Facilities and green spaces are good. However, there is nuisance from loitering youths on scooters in particular.

bad

worthless, I've been harassed at my front door for years. there have been years of arguments in my hallway that I couldn't handle, the police and housing association were involved, I was supposed to get help which didn't happen. now I have a new person living next to me who is off his head and has a mess in his house. and harasses me in the middle of the night. he drinks and does things. which is not pleasant. but the housing association doesn't do a damn thing. so now I'm looking for another home, which the housing association was supposed to help me with but now they're leaving me to sort it out myself. to get away, this world is bloody crap

Unpredictable

I personally have a good experience with my neighbourhood. Nothing to complain about. Yes, here and there some hassle but that's always the case. Getting a house, on the other hand, is a DRAMA. We as 20/30-year-olds still all live with our parents because there simply ARE NO houses. Or the houses are being snatched away for refugees or status holders.. Not fair.

Quiet little neighbourhood

Pros: the shopping centre is very nice to have. There are also a number of parks where children can play. There is also a large forest and a canal where you can walk. Cons: some children playing outside can be quite restless and argue a lot. But I think that as a parent you should keep an eye on your child when you let them go outside!
