Auto-translated to English by AIIt's a beautiful neighbourhood with well-maintained houses and gardens, but there is little contact between residents. Although the surroundings are inviting and tidy, you hardly see people on the street and there is little interaction. Everyone seems to go their own way, which makes the neighbourhood, despite its beauty, a bit lonely.
