This picture is reflected in the reviews. Alex describes it as a beautiful neighbourhood with all amenities around the corner, but mentions loitering youths and hygiene as points of concern that the municipality should address. Lianne Vis regularly notes litter on the streets, but appreciates the small businesses and supermarkets in the area.
