Lots of amenities around, parks, shopping areas, bars, daycares etc." Another shares: "Calm, green and evolving. I've been living in this neighborhood for over 6 years and just bought a larger apartment in the same building. We considered looking into other neighborhoods but just had a baby with my boyfriend we could definitely get more for our money here. It's not perfect but it has changed a lot in the past years, offering now more options for entertainment and horeca, and hosting younger residents and families with little kids and dogs than it used to. It's calm, safe and green, and although it could still improve and could get more support from the local government, it's still affordable (compared to the rest of the city) and constantly changing for the better." A third resident mentions the greenery and trees, but also notes daily mess around the waste containers. The neighbourhood has 4,710 inhabitants, with a high share of single-person households at 57%.
