Auto-translated to English by AIAchterkerk is a very respectful neighbourhood. From apartment blocks, terraced houses and detached houses, every home is filled with nice, cosy and respectful residents. Everyone greets each other, reminds each other when the bins need to be put out. If there are things that someone finds less pleasant, the neighbours come together to resolve this. What might be perceived as less positive is that there are few young people living there.
