Quiet neighbourhood with apartments

In reports there is mention of theft from cars. At weekends sometimes fireworks from LHC. The municipality does a lot of maintenance on greenery, truly fantastic.

Apartment maintenance poor, green facilities poor

It was once a nice neighbourhood but not anymore. Nothing is being fixed in the apartment, it's draughty everywhere and damp, nothing is done about it, yet paying almost 800 euros. At the front, rats are running around, people have had rats on their balcony, the weeds are very high, almost up to the balcony.

Nice and cosy

It's a nice, cosy, quiet neighbourhood! There is no nuisance from young people, which makes living here much more pleasant! Access to nice eateries, supermarket, public transport. There are plenty of places to walk the dog in the woods or let the dog off the lead in a park. Every Saturday there is a large market where you can eat all sorts of things.
