Quiet and everything within reach

There was once a man in my neighbourhood who tried to kidnap children with candy and who knows what to do with them

Good

I've been living here for a while and it's manageable for the children. For buying clothes, I'd advise you not to go here because there's only one nice and affordable shop. The neighbourhood is quiet.

Quiet and everything within reach

I find the neighbourhood where I live very quiet, except recently I went ding-dong-ditching and then a man came out with an air rifle and started making threats, but otherwise a quiet, peaceful neighbourhood.
