How residents experience their district
My experience is that there is plenty to do and in the summer they always have a fair with a performance, and my neighbours are always there for me.

Auto-translated to English by AII think it's a nice neighbourhood and there are shops within walking distance. I feel safe because the neighbours are always willing to help and because there is a neighbourhood police officer.
Auto-translated to English by AIPleasant living in this area. Swimming pool nearby, choice of various types of education. We have a park at Hesselingen but I find it still lacks greenery. Not every street has a pavement.

How residents experience their municipality
On the row where I live, there is a cosy side of the street; every summer we sit outside together.
Auto-translated to English by AINice houses and the greenery is well maintained, almost always tidy. Sometimes a bit of bustle from the station
Auto-translated to English by AIEveryone is very observant... still a young people's neighbourhood with many differences of opinion. The playground that is surrounded by watchful eyes and also when there is a bike four-day event, for example...

Auto-translated to English by AIIt's a nice neighbourhood with nice people. Plenty of facilities and educational locations.
Auto-translated to English by AII've been living here for almost 2 years now and all in all I'm satisfied. Of course, I sometimes see young guys on the street shouting hot-headedly and pushing/shoving each other, but that's part of it. Furthermore, I feel safe here and hardly anything happens. I don't feel attached to my neighbours or the other people on my street, but I do recognise a few and always say a friendly hello, and get it back. There are no arguments and we let each other live and leave each other alone, fine! The centre has enough amenities and I don't really miss anything, except for the fact that there is no Chinese restaurant that delivers food, but that might be very specific of me. For a place so central, I'm satisfied with how much green there is. Recently, a new small green area was added and I find this very pleasant both for the eye and for walking my dog. In terms of hygiene, I find it quite substandard. People leave dog poop lying around, there is often vomit on the street from people who have been out and about, and a lot of litter and food scraps. This surprises me in a negative way and I find it a great pity. This is the only downside; otherwise, I am very happy and satisfied with both my place and the environment!
Auto-translated to English by AII live in a nice neighbourhood of our city. Have nice neighbours. But last Saturday we found out that our neighbour across the street had been lying dead in his house for 2.5 weeks, so there isn't much social contact. Hopefully more in 2025. Because I was really shocked by it.
Auto-translated to English by AIQuiet, not very social; everyone has and does their own thing and it doesn't get any more exciting than that. There's enough education in the area, enough green space but could be better maintained!
