Auto-translated to English by AIWe have lived here from the start. Our children grew up here. Everyone went to the Baken, so there was a lot of contact. Plenty of play areas and a large garden. Still many neighbours from the beginning with nice contact. The street is wide, with lots of greenery. We don't look at each other's plates, haha. We'll be staying for a while yet!
Auto-translated to English by AIWe have a nice group where we organise things with all the families, schools are nearby, shops, station, playgrounds. In short, everything is close by, it's absolutely fine. Few loitering youths or vagrants so safety is good, often the council cleans the neighbourhood, there are several small parks and ditches etc.
Auto-translated to English by AIThe area is quite nice, with decent houses and plenty of facilities nearby. Generally friendly people.
Auto-translated to English by AII've been living here for a while and it's a nice quiet neighbourhood. The biggest problem is the fact that there's little to do in the area and unfortunately there's not much nature.
