In the neighbourhood there are many cultured people, very cosy! The only downside is that there are also antisocial people living here.. and they don't give a damn about anything or anyone.. there is little parking space right in front of my door, which is really not pleasant, the neighbourhood itself is quite close-knit and everyone enjoys chatting with each other during New Year's or a summer day. There is hardly any greenery here and there, some bushes here and there but that's about it.. luckily they are busy renovating and greening the part where we live, so that's something I consider a plus point for the neighbourhood. Unfortunately, it's often the case that houses have overdue maintenance due to landlords or people who simply don't care about what their house looks like.
Auto-translated to English by AISomething happens in every neighbourhood now and then, but I still think the neighbourhood is safe.
Auto-translated to English by AII think I live in a neighbourhood that can be cosy, but there are many fights, shootings and a lot of crime here, which often goes unaddressed. In terms of education, facilities, nature and many other things, it's a top neighbourhood. With the Weggebekker and the Brunssummerheide around the corner, there is plenty of forest.
