Decent neighbourhood but quite a lot of loitering youths.

Around New Year's Eve there are always groups (16-20) with a lot of fireworks, my little sister doesn't dare to go outside because of this and they also cause damage.

a small village with a great environment.

A nice village, many beautiful and large houses. never many problems in the neighbourhood. there is a primary school and there are sports clubs. but few food options in the area and only 1 supermarket. the lake is a nice place to swim, paddleboard and windsurf. the nature around the lake is a pleasant place for a walk.

Quiet and a cosy neighbourhood

It's quiet. People are friendly. It's not a crazy village to live in. To make it even safer, a zebra crossing would be nice.
