Hooch Boulandt is a compact area between the Singel and the railway, where the streets are quiet despite the city-centre location. One resident describes it as "a quiet part of a busy neighbourhood," noting that the streets behind the Singel are peaceful and that you can easily reach all necessary shops on foot. The same resident mentions that the quiet streets can feel a bit scary at night, especially the walk from the central station past dark parks and empty offices. The neighbourhood Hooch Boulandt has a very high density of 5,333 addresses per km², typical of a strongly urban area, and is home to many singles and young professionals.
For daily groceries, Albert Heijn is just around the corner, with Jumbo and Coop a couple of streets away. There are several primary schools within a ten-minute walk, including Agatha Snellenschool and Openbare Basisschool De Kleine Dichter.

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.
