More of a chav neighbourhood

Lots of rubbish on the street, weird characters walking through the neighbourhoods. Quadruple murder committed. Sounds like a “safe neighbourhood”. If you fit in, you can live here just fine, but if not, you don't really have the opportunity to do other things since there's very little to do in the area.

Quiet

It's a quiet neighbourhood and you hardly have any trouble with anything, not even with loitering youths.
