Chaotic but cosy

I sometimes find it unsafe in the evening, there are many young people hanging around in the neighbourhood who deal drugs. The school attracts many young people with bad intentions to the area. Although everyone knows each other and they have mutual respect. Community education could improve if more pedagogical staff become active in the area.

Top village

Nice village to live in. The necessary facilities are there. The only thing I miss is an (affordable) gym and cafés or nightlife for the youth.
