A beautiful and tidy neighbourhood, but I sometimes miss social contact with my neighbours.

I think it's a very nice neighbourhood, very tidy and beautiful, and I really enjoy it. The neighbourhood is also very close to the centre, so I can easily get everywhere. Paddepoel or Selwerd are a bit far away, but I hardly ever go there anyway. I sometimes miss social contact with neighbours, and a few more communal spaces in the neighbourhood would be nice.
