lived here for 45 years, always a very nice neighbourhood but since many new people, no contact at all anymore, they all think only of themselves, also nothing for the elderly, children have to look for everything far away, transport is hopeless too
Auto-translated to English by AII moved here almost 11 years ago and I really feel at home here, everyone cares about each other and the roads are cleaned here every day with a street sweeper. There is a beautiful green environment here, there is plenty of housing available and there is enough education here.

Auto-translated to English by AIeveryone is very friendly and you can easily have a chat with neighbours.
Auto-translated to English by AIOverall, it's a quiet neighbourhood. There is a dangerous road nearby where many cars drive too fast and accidents often happen. The houses are now divided between owner-occupied and rental. But all rental houses that become vacant are sold. As a result, you can see the neighbourhood gradually improving because people with owner-occupied homes put more time and energy into it. A fine neighbourhood for a family with children. Downside: the green bags are often torn open, causing a lot of litter to scatter around and not being collected by the council. Hygiene could be better. There should be bins everywhere so that bags of rubbish don't end up on the street.
Auto-translated to English by AISimple village life with peace and cosiness. It lies between the flatlands and away from big cities. Accessibility is therefore not necessarily optimal and the number of facilities is limited.
Auto-translated to English by AIQuiet - Variety of residents - Safe - no heavy traffic - good accessibility. Public transport could be better for the elderly.
Auto-translated to English by AICosy neighbourhood. Nice neighbours who are often there for each other. People also regularly have a chat with each other. The municipality could only do better with the greenery. A green neighbourhood is nice, provided it is well maintained. I think the municipality can do that better.
