I've been living here for 3 years now and nothing ever really happens, I have friendly neighbours, we don't interfere with each other. But there are a few you can ring if something is wrong. Furthermore, I find the greenery in the area very beautiful. Because of the new underground container that is much too small, there is sometimes rubbish on the street. This is also because rubbish is dumped here from the surrounding neighbourhood. In terms of safety, I do feel safe here, something rarely happens.
