There's a person in this neighbourhood who ruins everything for everyone, so they should actually be removed

I have no contact with anyone in this neighbourhood; the upstairs neighbour ruins everything for interacting with people

A pleasant living environment, quiet

We live with a view of the ponds, no noise. Forest nearby for lovely walks. Also pleasant walking at the canoe pond for a short round. Plenty of parking space. Schools nearby and supermarket within walking distance. Lots of greenery in the neighbourhood. Neat neighbourhood, safe living, no nuisance. City centre easily accessible by bike or car.

Quite a nice neighbourhood

It's fine here. Friendly neighbourhood, people don't bother each other. But if something's up, they're there for you.
