This makes the neighbourhood attractive for people seeking space without being far from a city.

The neighbourhood has around 660 residents, and the largest group consists of those aged 65 and over, accounting for nearly half the population. Families with children are relatively scarce: the 0 to 15 age group is limited.

Those who buy a home here often do so for the long term.
