Auto-translated to English by AIThat'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+.
Auto-translated to English by AIThe 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.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt 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.
Auto-translated to English by AII am super satisfied with this neighbourhood; if you have any issues, there is always someone nearby who wants to help you.
