The neighbourhood Frans Halsbuurt is popular but comes with the noise and bustle of city-centre living.

Primary schools include Basisschool Oscar Carré and IKC De Kleine Reus, both a couple of streets away, while Montessori Lyceum Amsterdam and Sweelinck College are close for secondary education.

Mediocre · 1 resident
Have lived here quite a long time. Too long. It's getting busier and busier with tourists. Houses are in poor condition, lots of damp and mould, and very small and noisy. Many people with kids are moving elsewhere. Lots of rubbish in the streets and a lot of nuisance from pubs and restaurants. Noise from passers-by and tourists, especially in summer.
