Nice neighbourhood

I haven't lived here very long, the social cohesion between me and the neighbours is very good. I think it's a nice neighbourhood, also conveniently next to the city within a 15-minute walk.

Nice little neighbourhood

Easy to reach, both by public transport and by car. The police are always very quick to respond when something happens. Only not really a neighbourhood feel, it takes a while to get to know your neighbours, or not at all... Also, the way rubbish is collected is not ideal, a big pile on the corner of the street, where the bags are often already opened by pests. The school in the area is easily accessible. There are plenty of shops within walking distance. Since parking permits were introduced in the street, there is always space to park the car.
