Yet the picture is not entirely positive. Nikki gives a 7.5 and notes that more and more shops are disappearing in favour of eateries, and that a 24/7 gym causes nuisance. She also mentions fast-riding fatbikes, even in pedestrian areas. These are sounds you should take seriously if you value peace and safety. The safety score of 8.9 is still good, but the neighbourhood is no quiet dormitory town. It is a core with life, with a shopping centre, hospitality and traffic.

Auto-translated to English by AIWell-maintained, tidy and pleasant neighbourhood/neighbours. I feel safe. Everything within reach, public transport, supermarkets, etc. The only downside might be that part of the street has too many cars on the road.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt is very safe here. I miss the concept of child-friendliness, I would give that a 6 because there are few playgrounds that are safe. The ones that exist are broken or unsafe due to the youth who break things there.
