The Van der Helstpleinbuurt
This is a neighbourhood with a strong urban pulse, where the streets are filled with shops, cafes and the famous Albert Cuyp Market. Residents of the district give it an average score of 7.47, based on four reviews. One resident says: "Lively, with a tram stop right outside and the North-South line station across the street. Albert Cuyp Market within walking distance. Supermarkets within walking distance. Lively bars and restaurants directly below the homes on this side." Another notes: "It's really a good neighbourhood. It's easily accessible by metro and tram, except at night. There's only 1 bus in the area and that one at 5 in the morning (to Schiphol) is super annoying. Furthermore, it's nicely green with parks and trees in the neighbourhood. There are also many amenities; shops, bakeries, butchers, eateries, really everything. Also, it's very safe, there are occasional burglaries but they are minor and only target shops." A third resident is more mixed: "Sometimes nice, sometimes a lot of poverty, sometimes chaotic, sometimes ok." The neighbourhood has about 3,945 residents, and a large share of them live alone.
