A green neighbourhood between two larger neighbourhoods where all people come together.

I've been living in the neighbourhood for about twelve years now and have experienced many changes. In the early years when I came to live here, it was mainly older people living here. This has since changed, and more and more young people are coming. The neighbourhood is very suitable for pets because of two large parks and enough grass squares. The area has a large but safe street that has good connections to motorways. There is also a street that connects village life (Bavel) with city life (Centre).
