Nice living in a safe neighbourhood

We're not a neighbourhood where people pop round for tea, but it's very nice to live here and I never feel unsafe, not even when I used to walk the dog late at night. Occasionally there's a neighbourhood BBQ with a bouncy castle for the children. The area is kept tidy, there's a neighbourhood app where things are shared and a neighbourhood app that's really for safety. In that you can post things like suspicious characters in the area, etc. If necessary, the administrator contacts the police. But that rarely happens. There's no nosiness, but people do look out for each other. Just a really nice neighbourhood to live in.
