Quiet

Quite quiet during the day. A bit more lively in the evenings, especially at weekends. Noisy.

Reasonably green and tidy neighbourhood for people who don't have a sky-high income.

I think we live nicely here, everything I need is close by. There is some nuisance from young people sometimes in the evening, and quite a bit of the kind of people you'd expect in a negative sense in a low-income area, but I can live with it fine.

Quiet neighbourhood but also very unsafe at times.

Nice quiet neighbourhood to live in. In the street, a lot of nuisance from waste, especially on the grass fields. Two fires in a short time in a side street of our street. The district itself doesn't have many facilities, but is centrally located between facilities of neighbouring districts.
