The Van der Helstpleinbuurt neighbourhood
One resident describes it as a "Best neighbourhood", giving it 8.25 out of 10. They say: "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. Furthermore, no one has been murdered or large drug labs found in years. Just lock your bike properly. The houses are nice and good, but WAY TOO EXPENSIVE! Renting here is a nightmare if it's not social housing:/" Based on this single review, the neighbourhood is seen as safe, green and well-served, though pricey. Most residents are single, with 63% one-person households, and half the population is between 25 and 45. The Van der Helstpleinbuurt neighbourhood is a typical Amsterdam mix of young professionals and long-term locals.
