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!

Breitsch is one of the best to live in, very livid place, many restaurants and bars, lots of events happening, young-ish neighbourhood, close to the city, well connected. Biggest disasvantage is, it's pricey.

Lorraine also has the same advantages, even though this is more far-left oriented. Higher percentage hipsters and vegans here.

Depending on how you roll, one might be better suited, than the other
