Different kinds of people live in my neighbourhood with diverse backgrounds and from various cultures. Also a good mix in terms of ages. There are plenty of activities and facilities. And the neighbourhood is easily accessible. However, busy traffic is sometimes a downside. There is enough green space in my neighbourhood and the maintenance is reasonably good.
Auto-translated to English by AII think it's a nice neighbourhood, it's nice and quiet and everything is easy to reach. Shops are conveniently close and there are plenty of public transport options. Schools in the area are also easy to reach and not too far.
Auto-translated to English by AIit's nice being close to the shopping centre, but I don't feel very safe when I walk out of my house.
Auto-translated to English by AIThe neighbourhood is fine, amenities are close by and buses run regularly. Safety is a bit of an issue; I haven't experienced any trouble myself, but the things you read in the news are sometimes alarming... Maybe it could be solved with more police (especially in the evenings and at night) on the streets.
