One resident who has lived here since 1992 says: "Have lived here since 1992, still think it's a beautiful neighbourhood, but social contacts are decreasing."

Auto-translated to English by AIHave lived here for 32 years. Pleasant neighbourhood in itself. Could do with a bit more attention now and then, e.g. emptying containers.
