Auto-translated to English by AINeighbours with many cats and dogs that walk everywhere and do their business, like on my pavement, and also many slugs that nothing is done about, poor maintenance of sheds, very unfortunate
Auto-translated to English by AIQuiet neighbourhood, friendly people who greet you, but there isn't much contact with the neighbours. The maintenance of the greenery could be better. Supermarket within walking distance.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's a neighbourhood with mostly older people who are often all friends and know each other well. As a new person or a younger person, it's difficult to fit in, but if you give it time and are respectful and they get used to you, you'll be more respected, but you never fully fit in.
