I've been living in this neighbourhood for 7 years now and it's a beautiful spot with nice people and a lovely, quiet environment. People help each other when needed and are often up for a chat.

Beautiful

It's a nice spot by the meadows and fun, cosy neighbourhoods. There aren't many facilities for young people (playground, skate park, park etc.), but everyone still enjoys themselves at each other's homes and outside. Shops are nearby and that's nice for everyone.
