Auto-translated to English by AIThere's nothing to do. Everything is super expensive in the shops. There's a doctor, pharmacy and bakery. But there's nothing for teenagers to do. Only the spot (cafe), football field, cafe. No activities or workshops for 18 years and older. The street is well lit but behind our house there's an alley and you can't see anything at all. There are a lot of drunk people. There are no neighbourhood parties. Neighbours make a lot of noise at 3am.

Auto-translated to English by AILook, it could be a lot better, but I still have to say it's a great neighbourhood. Every city has its less pleasant spots where you don't want to walk alone. In terms of schools, it's very well organised for every level and age – it's just good here! Many schools to choose from. Also for further education, it's very good here! Furthermore, the shops are excellent!
