Quiet and familiar

The neighbourhood is always very quiet and borders beautiful meadows. It's a neighbourhood where many people take a walk with their dogs and children in the evening. There are good schools in the area and crime is very low here. Additionally, there is a snack bar and a supermarket around the corner if you need to quickly grab something.

Small but nice

I haven't lived here very long and I'm a student, so the experience will be different. I personally find the neighbourhood pleasant, it feels safe and is green. I am positive about the neighbourhood.

Fine

Actually nothing to complain about. I've been living there for a long time with great pleasure. The only thing is there's always a dog owner who doesn't clean up their poop. Which is annoying because you really can't see it in the dark.
