Very cosy neighbourhood

Very social and everyone takes care of each other when needed. Really a nice quiet neighbourhood. Shops and schools and green spaces and playgrounds nearby. Good dog walking spots close by. And so safe and cosy to live in.

I moved to Orthen from a bad home situation and I feel like a world is opening up for me! Everyone is so friendly and the silence and peace I experience is super pleasant.
