High crime rate

A very unfriendly and unsafe environment for both adults and children. Every month there is a woman/girl raped, people shooting wildly, or a burglary. It is not recommended to go outside after dark. Neighbours don't greet each other and there is always tension between neighbours. Children who tear up flowers/plants. Parents who say nothing about it.

Old-fashioned cosy

It's a cosy neighbourhood that's quickly deteriorating, but people still look out for each other. It's a working-class neighbourhood. A shame it's so dirty, etc. But I'm staying. The municipality should deploy more litter pickers, etc., and possibly increase fines for littering.

Unusually self-evident

I know a larger part of the area, but it's difficult to share my experience because I'm mostly at work; I only come home after work and go out for work.

Decent neighbourhood

It's like a village, which makes it cosy. Parking is sometimes a problem, even if you pay for it annually. Otherwise cosy and quiet, except around New Year's Eve with fireworks, then there's some noise. Reasonably clean, sometimes a bit of a mess near the playground.
