It looks like a ghetto to someone who doesn't know it well but in fact, it's a rather normal, relatively safe residential area. Well, so far. Lately it's quite common to see groups of shifty-looking people hanging around and boozing at outdoor stairs at any time of the day and we encountered a drunk/drugged person lying on the ground twice in recent months.
There's an individual commercial part with a polyclinic, post office and various stores, so unless you need to deal with something specific, you've got everything you need here and don't even need to go down to a city center. If you need to, you can take a bus every 5-10 minutes, depending on the time of a day or you can go on foot, which takes about an hour.
Parking is a nightmare. There's a terrible lack of parking places.
There's also a forest, an old village and a river nearby. I can see the forest from my window, it takes around 5 minute to get there.
We've got a lot of birds here, mostly magpies. In summer, you can see and hear bats.
I don't really know our neighbours. The apartment below belongs to some woman who rents it to some family or maybe even more families, I'm not sure. I know there's some old woman with a cat but also a couple with a boy and I have no idea if they are related of not. Upper neighbours are weird. It's a couple in their 50s-60s with two sons and a dog. From time to time, they get drunk and argue and throw stuff around their apartment. The woman looks like she has some mental issues. We don't know each other, we just had one minor problem many many years ago, but she avoids us hardcore to this day. The rest of the family has no issue with us, we greet each other but she seems to be getting panic attack whenever we cross her path, turns back and walks away or if she can't, she will turn her back to us and act like she's suddenly very interested in whatever is in front of her.
