The condominium is made up of 23 condominium owners, the oldest of whom already had and raised their children there, and are now welcoming their grandchildren (given the excellent security conditions, space and children’s equipment in the lounge and outdoor space protected from the street, with swings, basketball hoop and lots of space for cycling. The common spaces are very good for children’s parties and the condominium works quite well.
