The Stationsplein neighbourhood
Stationsplein is a small, central neighbourhood with just 795 residents, and it is very much a hub of activity. Half of the residents are between 25 and 45, and a large share live alone, which gives the area a youthful, transient feel. Residents of the wider district give it an average score of 7.38 out of 10, based on five reviews. One resident says: "It's local and you can get anywhere", while another notes: "Beautiful neighbourhood close to the finest amenities". A third resident mentions: "If there were fewer homeless and shady people, the neighbourhood would be great", so the area has its rough edges. The neighbourhood is home to a mix of old and new buildings, with 63.6% of homes built before 1945, and it is a place where you can walk to almost everything.
