A typical student neighbourhood

The neighbourhood is quite simple along a road, and there are often students outside in the evenings. It is reasonably safe as long as all doors remain closed.

A cosy good neighbourhood

It is a safe neighbourhood with nice people, I have never had any bad experiences, but sometimes bikes are stolen, but no major burglaries, there is a supermarket, station, GP and school all within walking distance, sometimes it is a bit dirty
