Auto-translated to English by AIThe neighbourhood is quiet but I do think there should be more enforcement, especially now that it gets dark quickly, that would give me more peace of mind. What could be better is people looking out for each other more.
Auto-translated to English by AIFew problems here. Last armed robbery at the Chinese takeaway was about 10 years ago, I think. And the boss of the kebab shop on the corner of the street was arrested for drug trafficking, also years ago. They are doing a major renovation on a building two houses down from me. I'm curious what will go in there.
Auto-translated to English by AIDecent neighbourhood with nice playgrounds. Parks are poorly maintained and very monotonous in terms of planting. There is quite a lot of litter in the area and apart from two primary schools, there are hardly any facilities nearby.

Auto-translated to English by AII have good contact with my direct neighbours. Apart from that, all nice people.
Auto-translated to English by AIThere are many children in the neighbourhood and if you have children yourself it's a nice area for that. Young people don't really socialise with each other. The houses are nice and there's a park nearby, a 5-minute walk away, which is also chill. Living by the water is beautiful, especially if you have a boat.
