Nice, involved neighbourhood

Neighbours are there for each other. Safe living and lots of green. Unfortunately, no more supermarket in the village. A great loss. But there are two bakeries and a butcher's.

We know each other :)

That's quite difficult since I've only been living here for a short time. But there could be more greenery and accessible paths, given that this neighbourhood is mainly 55+.

Quiet

The neighbourhood is multicultural but people are involved with each other because it gives a good feeling, the children from the area can come together in the playground and there is also a shopping centre within walking distance, which makes living here much easier.

Eccentric

It was quiet in itself but has become somewhat restless due to migrants. Especially Poles and Bulgarians who are regularly visited by the police. Also some leftovers from the city centre. Little social control. The neighbourhood itself is improving in terms of housing in the sense that people are renovating and extending houses. There are no more schools here.

Fine and quiet

The neighbourhood feels lively and cosy, with a mix of young families and older residents. There are plenty of amenities in the area such as schools etc., but few shops.
