Burgwallen-Oost is the oldest part of Amsterdam, packed with narrow streets, canals and centuries-old buildings. It's densely populated, with 1,675 residents and a very high address density of 7,670 per km². Most homes are pre-war, and the area is dominated by singles and young professionals.

For families, the St. Antoniusschool is just around the corner, and De Witte Olifant is a five-minute walk.
