Surprising

Multicultural neighbourhood, friendly, kind elderly and young people. People look out for each other, social and empathetic. Two community centres and a neighbourhood farm with activities. Nice park for children in the playground, for the elderly to walk, to exercise. Feels safe and familiar. GPs, shops, care centre nearby. In short, a great neighbourhood.
