Auto-translated to English by AIDespite the mess on the streets and the often-present youngsters, the neighbourhood is still a pleasant area where people know each other and are not averse to offering help. Different cultures come together and there are often activities in the vicinity.
Auto-translated to English by AII've been living here for almost 3 years now and have reasonable contact with the neighbours. I have no trouble with crime or feelings of insecurity. There is sufficient social control, but not to the point where it bothers you. The houses could use some renovation, but they are busy making them more sustainable.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's a reliable, cosy and friendly neighbourhood here! Lots of shops nearby and also public transport. The neighbours are always there for each other without asking for anything in return. We even have a group app for any emergencies. What more could you want? That's the strength of this neighbourhood.
