Surroundings

The neighbourhood isn't really green. There are many houses close together, despite that it is a relatively accessible neighbourhood.

Houses near the central station

Many drug users, many dogs pooping on the street, a lot of noise

Top location

It's close and just far enough from the centre that you're in a quiet, cosy neighbourhood, but you can easily find the bustling centre within 5 minutes. This will only get better when the new station is finished.

Cozy and busy

Station nearby, pub/terrace nearby, supermarket within walking distance and city centre also 5 minutes by bike. But the street is busy with traffic. Other than that, there are many students/young professionals living here, so there's almost never any trouble with crime (once a man was in our garden stealing empty crates of beer), but there can be some noise nuisance.

Pleasant living environment near the city centre

A very nice neighbourhood to live in! Within walking distance of the city and yet green spaces nearby. Pleasant to live in both as a student and as parents with young children!
