The neighbourhood is often inaccessible because during roadworks all entrances and exits are closed at the same time. Furthermore, it is a pleasant and reasonably safe neighbourhood. There is no shortage of schools either, thanks to the primary school and Montessori that are currently being developed. There is sometimes a shortage of drains. The streets are quite often flooded after a storm. In short, there is still some work to be done, but it is certainly starting to look like something. Fine neighbourhood
