The area is dominated by pre-war architecture, 95% of homes were built before 1945, and the streets are lined with plane trees. It's a young area: nearly half the residents are between 25 and 45, and many live alone (705 single-person households). The neighbourhood Rijnbuurt-Midden has a very high density of addresses (5,375 per km²), so you're never far from a café or shop. There are no resident reviews available for this street, but the neighbourhood is known for its mix of students, young professionals and families.
Your morning bread run is a two-minute walk to Vomar, and Albert Heijn is just around the corner.
