The neighbourhood is very cosy, the road is occasionally busy but usually not too crowded. Safe roads and nice people. We have enough amenities, though perhaps a bit more nightlife for young people would be good. Housing could be better, it's increasingly difficult to get a house, but investment is being made in asylum seekers, which is a shame. The houses in our neighbourhood are beautiful and large, each one unique. Building houses is difficult because you don't want to spoil the view. But something definitely needs to be done about housing on the Middelweg.
Auto-translated to English by AII moved here in 2017 and immediately felt at home. Nice neighbours and a lot of community spirit in the neighbourhood. One access road for cars in the area means only destination traffic drives here. Wide streets with pavement. And central playground equipment for the children. Primary school around the corner. Bus station in the street behind. Nice neighbourhood to live in.
