How residents experience their neighbourhood
It is very safe here. I miss the concept of child-friendliness, I would give that a 6 because there are few playgrounds that are safe. The ones that exist are broken or unsafe due to the youth who break things there.

Unfortunately, more and more shops are disappearing and being replaced by eateries. Since a gym opened here, it attracts a lot of riffraff; the gym is open 24/7. Lots of fast-riding fatbikes, even in the pedestrian area. The municipality is very green and there is a nice walking park.

Auto-translated to English by AIWell-maintained, tidy and pleasant neighbourhood/neighbours. I feel safe. Everything within reach, public transport, supermarkets, etc. The only downside might be that part of the street has too many cars on the road.

Auto-translated to English by AIWe have a 30 km/h zone but it's like a motorway sometimes in the evenings. Otherwise a nice neighbourhood to live in, nothing wrong with it, but many single people in a single-family home, which I think doesn't match the housing construction, while there are plenty of people with children looking for a home.
