Nice neighbourhood

Beautiful, neat, friendly neighbourhood. Nice surroundings. Safe neighbourhood, few burglaries. Neighbours look out for each other. Young people with children and older people live there, so a mixed neighbourhood. Traffic-calmed neighbourhood. There is plenty of greenery in the area. There are large parks within walking distance. However, there is a parking problem.

Pleasant, tidy neighbourhood.

Plus: cosy neighbourhood, everyone chats with each other. Kept clean well by the municipality. Everything is close by (supermarket, school, doctor, etc.) I think the neighbourhood looks nice. There is plenty of green space/playgrounds.
