Why this score · reflects your priorities
Seine-Saint-Denis leans on superb rail links, but sky-high property, high crime, almost no greenery and weaker schools weigh heavily. La Seine-Saint-Denis s'appuie sur de superbes liaisons ferroviaires, mais des prix immobiliers exorbitants, une délinquance élevée, une quasi-absence de verdure et des résultats scolaires plus faibles pèsent lourd.
