Much improved

Child-friendly and mostly quiet neighbourhood. The roads and rental homes have recently been renovated, which has significantly improved the appearance of the area. By introducing one-way streets, the number of cars in the neighbourhood is negligible.

I miss something

I like living here. I only miss a train station. And there are often groups of teenagers in the neighbourhood who think they are above the law. But otherwise I am more than satisfied. We are close to the supermarket, the forest and the bus station!
