The district was largely built in the 1970s and 1980s, with a mix of semi-detached houses, detached houses and terraced houses. The development is spacious, with large gardens and wide streets, giving the neighbourhood an airy character.

The age composition tells a clear story: the largest group of residents is between 45 and 65 years old, and the proportion of families with children is high.
