Auto-translated to English by AIVery nice neighbourhood to live in. All the facilities we need are present.
Auto-translated to English by AII've been living here for almost 10 years now. The neighbourhood has sufficient amenities, I feel reasonably safe here when I'm out in the evening. The accessibility of the facilities I use is fine. Dumping waste remains a problem though. The community and housing are fine as far as I'm concerned.
