A resident from the Mooyekind area describes it aptly: "Nice, neat, friendly neighbourhood, safe neighbourhood, few burglaries, neighbours look out for each other. Young people with children and elderly people live there, so a mixed neighbourhood. There is plenty of green space and large parks within walking distance." This mix of generations is also reflected in the figures: the largest age group is 25 to 45 years (over 2,000 residents), but there are also many over-45s and elderly people. Families with children form the largest household group. Safety scores a 7.5, which is solid, although not the highest sub-score. The same resident does mention one point of criticism: parking is a problem. That is a practical consideration to keep in mind if you have a car.
