One resident describes it as "a quiet part of a busy neighbourhood": the Singel is busy with traffic, but the streets between the Singel and the railway are very quiet and peaceful. They note that there are few cafés, so the sense of community is limited, and the quiet streets can feel scary at night, especially the walk from the central station past dark parks and empty offices. For daily life, the neighbourhood Hooch Boulandt offers a GP and a park just around the corner.
For your morning bread, Albert Heijn is just around the corner, with PLUS and Jumbo a couple of streets away.

I live on the Singel, which is quite busy with traffic, but the streets behind it (between the Singel and the railway) are actually very quiet and peaceful. This is also because there are few amenities in this part. However, you can easily reach all necessary shops on foot. Due to the few cafés in these streets, there is little sense of community. The quiet streets behind the house can sometimes be scary when you have to walk through them at night. Especially the stretch from the central station to home passes dark parks and offices that are empty in the evening. Living on the Singel, apart from the traffic, is very nice because you can (run) along the Singel in the greenery straight away. Hygiene is fine. The bins are not often too full.
