Nice neighbourhood, hardly any hassle or problems

Very nice neighbourhood, actually never any problems with the neighbours. I have a lot of contact with the neighbours. There are two secondary schools nearby which sometimes cause nuisance, but otherwise everything is great: nice houses, well maintained, and 4 playgrounds within a 3-minute walk, plus the petting zoo.

Amazing, truly a top neighbourhood

Amazing, really nice neighbours, lots of playgrounds, everything is neat and clean, only sometimes there are loitering youths, really a lot of cosiness and sufficient facilities like wheelie bins and underground containers, there are many trees and grassy fields, there are 3 schools within 100 metres so that's great, only it sometimes causes nuisance, accessibility is also very good
