Accessibility scores best with a 7.0, while community spirit gets the lowest score of 3.0. Resident Michaëla writes that people in her area keep to themselves and show little respect for each other: "It's all rush now, no respect for each other anymore and people have a short fuse." Another reviewer reports nuisance from young people because the neighbourhood houses several residential groups.

These are honest signals that you as a potential buyer should take into account.
