Heilust: a neighbourhood with mixed experiences
Heilust is a neighbourhood where opinions vary. One resident calls it a "nice quiet neighbourhood" and says there is "never any trouble and always quiet on the street." Another describes it as "beautiful" and quiet. But a third review paints a very different picture, mentioning antisocial behaviour, rubbish dumping, and an unsafe feeling for vulnerable people. Based on three reviews, the average score is 5.66 out of 10. The area has a mix of ages, with many families and older residents, and a high proportion of single-person households.
