I've lived here my whole life, so I'd describe it as having nice neighbours and good amenities. But in terms of safety, a few things are lacking, mainly at shopping centre Drieslag. I don't like walking there alone in the dark. Lots of people wandering around with a big mouth—I'm an 18-year-old girl, so of course I don't feel 'safe' with people like that around. 'Enforcement on Sundays is useless since they're there every day.' Oh, and all the houses are practically falling apart—I'd rather buy a house somewhere else and do it up, you'd probably spend less money than renting or buying one here.
