Helpful

My experience with the neighbourhood is good; the people in the neighbourhood are very helpful. People don't mind helping each other, and the elderly are also helped in the neighbourhood, for example with putting the wheelie bin out on the street and bringing it back in, or doing a small errand for them. It is also safe to live in this neighbourhood. The greenery could be a bit better with some more colour, but it is maintained. Across from the neighbourhood is a primary school, and the neighbourhood is very accessible. The shops are also easy to reach on foot or by bike. I have lived here for over 25 years with great pleasure.
