Auto-translated to English by AIGood, lots of nice people, young families and little nuisance. There are few homes for sale, and the ones that are available are too expensive.
Auto-translated to English by AII've only lived there for six months, but it's quite quiet, unfortunately no supermarket.
Auto-translated to English by AII think the neighbourhood is good. Good contact with the neighbours. The immediate neighbours look out for each other. Only a lot of burglaries in the area. Primary school nearby. I enjoy living here. Now waiting, I'm getting 30 apartments next to me, let's see how that goes regarding nuisance... I like living here. The neighbourhood has nice people who, like me, have lived here for years. We help each other when needed, including the neighbours at the back. Facilities are not good for elderly people. They can't get money from the bank nearby. They always need someone with a car. No consideration is given to them, which I think is a real shame.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's super relaxed and pleasant to live here, there's plenty to do, plenty of nature, you're close to the border with Germany and Belgium. Many clubs within the village, everyone knows each other. Super nice and cosy atmosphere. Also feels very safe. Rubbish is collected properly, you can dispose of glass, clothing and cardboard at many points.
