Quiet but has been going downhill in recent years

Nice and good living, sociable neighbours look out for each other, which is also important, only a pity that it's gradually deteriorating in the 20 years we've been living here now

A very pleasant living environment

I was born and raised there. Left and have been living there again for 18 years. Feeling at home, and walking around brings back warm memories.

Cosy, helpful, safe neighbourhood with nice residents

The neighbours are incredibly kind, helpful, and interested. Generally, the age range is a bit older, but it's a quiet neighbourhood and everyone is always up for a chat. There's a nice park, but they're going to build 9 more houses on the other side, and that worries me, because I expect it will get busier with cars and a lot of greenery will disappear.
