A cosy neighbourhood with a real village feel

Very cosy, we also have a neighbourhood association that organises activities for both the elderly and the young. There is a primary school and a childcare centre. There is a forest with a Discovery Trail and plenty to explore, everything is well maintained and the streets are clean.

A well-structured but individualistic neighbourhood.

Everyone knows each other, but you hardly know a neighbour who doesn't live next door. More bonding would be good.
