A lively district with a mixed reputation
Residents of the wider Helmersbuurt district give it an average score of 7.28, based on four reviews. One resident describes it as a pleasant, beautiful neighbourhood with lots to see and do, mentioning cultural visits to museums and parks, and plenty of cosiness from shops, cafés and restaurants. Another appreciates the many supermarkets and the excellent public transport, noting that everyone is very much to themselves. A third resident, however, finds it too busy, mentioning dirt and exhaust fumes. The district is very strongly urban, with over 10,000 addresses per square kilometre, and the population is young, with 45% aged between 25 and 45. This is the Helmersbuurt-Oost neighbourhood, a place of contrasts.
