Awful

Nasty atmosphere. Not many nice people. Lots of aggression, bullying, etc. Swearing for no reason. I avoid the residents here as much as possible and don't greet anyone either. Annoying school. But my house is very beautiful.

Not for everyone

I live in a child-friendly neighbourhood but children are sent away from the street by residents who live in a small apartment block that was added much later.
