Quiet, cosy, mostly friendly neighbourhood

When I first moved here it felt like a holiday, getting to know the neighbours took a while but over the years I now fit in well, except for a few, but I don't take that too seriously because there are anonymous complainers who don't bother to get to know us either. I enjoy the peace and the surroundings and those who help me or whom I can help. It's nice to keep an eye on each other in a positive way and respect each other. The neighbourhood is well maintained and if something could be better, it's pointed out. There are quite a lot of schools nearby, children can entertain themselves reasonably well. If you like meadows and water, you'll live here quite nicely.

Okay

The neighbourhood is okay but not right, finding a new house in the neighbourhood will be difficult because of the refugees, and the bus line here doesn't run 9 out of 10 times, public transport is not okay
