Large family-friendly neighbourhood with all cultures! Lots of green in the area, and there's something for everyone from young to old! Only the shopping options leave something to be desired, there could be a few more budget shops for people on a tight budget, which is a shame...

There are also a few people in the neighbourhood who don't function perfectly mentally, such as a neighbour who very often screams with a scary dog. But otherwise there is a lot of nature in Beijum and there are many residents who are very kind.
