Everything is within walking or cycling distance and there are plenty of supermarkets, gyms and schools nearby." Another describes it as "Strange little neighbourhood, there are often strange people hanging around on the street. There are always groups of chavs chilling in front of their houses at night. Most neighbours are friendly though." The neighbourhood has a high density of addresses (4627 per km²) and is very urban. Many residents live alone (925 one-person households).

Although there are occasionally some vagrants wandering around the neighbourhood or drunk men making it a bit unsafe, it is otherwise a very nice neighbourhood. Everything is within walking or cycling distance and there are plenty of supermarkets, gyms and schools nearby. There's also a nice bakery at the end of the street. It's very pleasant living here. It's also clean, no litter on the streets and rubbish is collected often. There's a forest nearby but it's unsafe in the evening.
Auto-translated to English by AIStrange little neighbourhood, there are often strange people hanging around on the street. There are always groups of chavs chilling in front of their houses at night. Most neighbours are friendly though. Many amenities nearby, such as primary school, secondary school within walking distance, shopping square, sports club. The other night at around two in the morning I was smoking a cigarette in front of my house, and an old dark-skinned woman asked if I wanted to buy a racing bike (in excellent condition) for ten euros, haha. The streets are extremely narrow and some are genuinely difficult to drive into with a car.
