high-rise is the solution

My neighbourhood is very varied in housing. You can find social housing and owner-occupied homes here. In the middle of the neighbourhood there is an industrial estate. To the east, high-rise buildings with apartments and student flats. To the north-west, there are mainly terraced houses. The neighbourhood is located on Lammeschansweg and almost directly on the motorway, so it is easily accessible. There are also many amenities such as a Plus, Intersport, Gamma, etc.
