People who don't know you will be curious; people have often peered into my house, and I mean really pressing their face against the window to peep. For "fun", young people have tried to kick my door in, which I think is going too far. Furthermore, there are curious, quiet, and friendly elderly people in the neighbourhood. Every kid here has a fatbike, of course. Lack of parking. Jumbo, Action, and Trekpleister in the area, plus a decent-sized shopping centre nearby. Generally, people are polite if you greet them. Rubbish could be collected more often, but that might be a Maastricht thing.
