Small-scale with friendly people

Not much litter on the ground, close to public transport and shopping centre, also near the forest, although there could be a few more plants in the neighbourhood itself

Nice living environment for singles, (young) families and elderly, so a great place to live!

All amenities nearby and relatively safe. The neighbourhood is varied in terms of housing layout and is well interspersed with green areas and a real park. In addition, the infrastructure is excellent and you are relatively on the edge of the city. I actually never hear complaints about this neighbourhood. Recommended if you are looking for a home in a nice environment!
