Impoverishment

Unfortunately, more and more shops are disappearing and being replaced by eateries. Since a gym opened here, it attracts a lot of riffraff; the gym is open 24/7. Lots of fast-riding fatbikes, even in the pedestrian area. The municipality is very green and there is a nice walking park.

Pleasant living environment with sufficient amenities

Many amenities in the neighbourhood, beautiful buildings, plenty of greenery and the neighbours are friendly and helpful. Just like in other neighbourhoods, there is some litter.
