It is a neighbourhood where people have lived for a long time and where the atmosphere is down-to-earth and uncomplicated. The population is diverse: the largest age group is 65-plus (895 residents), but there are also many young adults and families.

There are primary schools in the immediate vicinity and the Rhedens Lyceum is easily accessible. Sports clubs such as football club SC Velp and tennis club Velp are within cycling distance.
