Anyone looking for a vibrant environment should look elsewhere. Those who combine peace and affordability will feel at home here.
The built-up area consists largely of ground-bound terraced houses with a small garden, supplemented by some multi-family homes. This also explains the relatively low average surface area of 87 m²: they are not large homes, but for a starter or small family the space is usually adequate.
