I stopped by the new house today to start dropping off stuff. The landlord's father was there when I arrived, and promptly left once he helped me get into the house (once again, the key is tricky). It was weird being there by myself, but I had a chance to explore some of the rooms that I didn't get to really look at closely before - primarily, the master bath. I will eventually have pictures of the inside. Right now, it's a mess.
I did, however, take pictures of the front and back of the house. There is gardening and trimming of shrubbery currently being done, so the outside looks a tad messy, but at least you get an idea of what our new place looks like.
So, without further ado...

We have elderly people living on either side of us, so it seems like the neighborhood is relatively peaceful, other than the traffic noise and the noise from the train. We met the neighbors last night. They seem nice enough. It's funny, but we're the very first house in the village, so the house to the right of us (if you're facing the house from the street) is actually in the neighboring village, even though it's just next door.
The house was built in 1983, seven years earlier than our current house. But it seems to be a bit more solid. There are a few issues with the house that need to be repaired, but the landlord will be working on those things in the coming weeks. Also, just down the street, by the train station, there is a lovely restaurant with nice outdoor seating. I haven't tried their food yet, but it's a typical German place. There is also a bakery down the street which sells those delectable German goodies. So this village is a bit more lively than Kreuzrath, which has absolutely nothing but a horse farm, some houses, and the village church with cemetery.
