Auto-translated to English by AINice neighbourhood! The streets and pavements could do with a facelift.. They give a very outdated/neglected appearance.
Auto-translated to English by AII have no negative experiences with the neighbourhood. Great neighbourhood and all important facilities are nearby. The centre is within walking distance. Plenty of green spaces in the area.
Auto-translated to English by AIWe live in a very nice neighbourhood. There is a large off-leash area for the dog where we can often be found. Here you also meet many neighbours. The dogs and their owners get to know each other and can have a chat when they run into each other in the beautiful nature reserve where we live very close by. It's always cosy and everyone helps each other.
