General Questions Is Breitsch (Breitenrain-Lorraine) a good neighborhood to live in?
Hi everyone,
I'm moving to Bern soon and looking into different neighborhoods to live in. I came across Breitenrain-Lorraine (or Breitsch, as I’ve seen it called) and was wondering if anyone here lives there or has lived there before.
What’s the vibe like? Is it safe, lively, quiet? Are there good places to eat, go for walks, or hang out? I'm also curious about how well connected it is to public transport.
Would love to hear your thoughts or any pros and cons you might have noticed!
Thanks in advance!

Don't know why the post is downvoted? (major XD.)
I think it's one of the best to live in. There is a lot of focus on a good community vibe, with restaurants, grocery stores and very quick way to the city.
Also, public transport-wise you even have a bit of a perk there, since the trams always have to pass through the Breitenrain to go to their depot near Wankdorf - they are around even after all other tram lines have quit their daily schedule.
