Auto-translated to English by AIMany amenities in the neighbourhood, beautiful buildings, plenty of greenery and the neighbours are friendly and helpful. Just like in other neighbourhoods, there is some litter.
Auto-translated to English by AIWe have a 30 km/h zone but it's like a motorway sometimes in the evenings. Otherwise a nice neighbourhood to live in, nothing wrong with it, but many single people in a single-family home, which I think doesn't match the housing construction, while there are plenty of people with children looking for a home.
