Resident Lisa (7.1) calls the district cosy and well-connected by train, but notes that the streetscape is changing due to the increase in Polish supermarkets and Syrian barbers.

Auto-translated to English by AIMany neighbours keep to themselves and there is little sense of community. Even though things regularly happen here, like a car on fire, car windows being smashed, a neighbour being bullied regularly, bikes being stolen, 3 devices have been placed that cause irritation. And so on. It's a shame, it's a nice neighbourhood and a beautiful neighbourhood that we can be proud of. Maybe organise a neighbourhood day next year so we can help each other, who knows, then it might get better.

Auto-translated to English by AII think it's a cosy neighbourhood because all the shops you need are nearby. Also easily accessible by train. However, on every street there are Polish supermarkets or Syrian barbers, which has made the neighbourhood not only look shabby but also unrecognisable. Moreover, because of that, cars are always parked where they shouldn't be, causing a lot of nuisance.
