Based on one review, the Van der Helstpleinbuurt scores an 8.25. One resident says: "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:/" The neighbourhood is densely populated, with mostly single-person households and a young demographic. The Van der Helstpleinbuurt neighbourhood is a vibrant, urban area.
Your daily bread run is just around the corner at Albert Heijn or Jumbo.

The asking price of €560,000 is below the neighbourhood average of €585,179 and the median of €525,000. With 54 m², that works out to about €10,370 per m², which is slightly above the neighbourhood average of €10,025 per m². Given that similar apartments in the area sell quickly (average 32 days), the price seems in line with the market.
The energy label is C. This is an official registration from EP-Online. Label C is mid-range on the scale, meaning the home is reasonably efficient but not top-tier. Expect moderate energy costs compared to a label A home, but lower than a label G. The label does not indicate the condition of the building itself.
The neighbourhood is well connected by metro and tram, though night services are limited. The nearest train station is 2.1 km away. One resident noted that there is only one bus in the area, which runs early morning to Schiphol. For most trips, the metro and tram are the main options.
The neighbourhood has a young, urban profile: most households are single-person (1,580 out of 2,555), and the largest age group is 25-45 (1,995 residents). There are 340 households with children. The area is very densely populated with an address density of 11,906 per km², so expect a lively, bustling environment.
According to one resident, the neighbourhood is very safe. They mention occasional burglaries targeting shops, but no major crime like murders or drug labs in recent years. The total number of crimes recorded in the area is 313, but without context it's hard to compare. The resident advises locking your bike properly.
There are plenty of shops within walking distance: Albert Heijn at 264 m, Jumbo at 390 m, Coop at 446 m, and Aldi at 496 m. For dining, restaurants are just 0.2 km away. A library is 0.7 km, and a park is 0.3 km. The area also has bakeries, butchers and eateries, as noted by a resident.
The building was constructed in 1903. The listing does not provide details about the condition of the building, so it is not possible to comment on maintenance or specific installations. The energy label C suggests some modernisation, but the exact state is not stated.

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.

How residents experience their municipality
IJburg is a new district still under development and it's getting better with all the amenities and a beach nearby. And you're also quickly out of the city and into the greenery.
Auto-translated to English by AIQuiet, peaceful, relaxed, green, social and a nice mix of people
Auto-translated to English by AII lived here for about 12 years. The neighbourhood has clear advantages: good connections by tram, bus and ferry/boat, plenty of supermarkets, gyms and practical amenities nearby. For me, however, there was one major drawback: structural low-frequency noise, demonstrably coming from commercial shipping on the Amsterdam-Rijnkanaal. If you are sensitive to that, it can be very burdensome. In my case, it was clearly noticeable indoors, especially at night. Neighbours said they slept with earplugs and extra insulation offered limited to no solution. The municipality took measurements at the time and acknowledged that the noise was significant, but indicated they could do little or nothing about it because the source fell outside their direct authority. My honest advice: visit this neighbourhood not only during the day, but also in the evening and at night, and pay specific attention to low-frequency humming or vibrations. For people sensitive to noise, I would personally strongly advise against this location.

Auto-translated to English by AINice, quiet and reasonably cosy neighbourhood. Good accessibility, the Amsterdam Forest nearby. Lots of different facilities within walking distance. Nice to live here with a family and pets! Quite a few schools within cycling distance. Hygiene in the neighbourhood is above the average level in Amsterdam. VUmc very close by.
Auto-translated to English by AIAt the end of the Silodam lies the striking MVRDV building. Surrounded by water on all sides. Every apartment has a view of the IJ and/or the Oude Houthaven. The views are therefore phenomenal and every day is different due to the weather. The sunrises and sunsets are unbeatable. Because the building is at the end of the Silodam, there is no through traffic and every person is either a resident or a visitor. This makes it, by Amsterdam standards, an exceptionally safe living environment. There is little turnover. The residents of this building form a close-knit community. A nice mix of families with and without children and single people who help each other where needed. And that too is a special quality in an increasingly transient Amsterdam. Within walking distance are the Haarlemmerdijk and the markets where you can find all the hustle and bustle if you feel like it. On the Silodam there is peace and quiet, a delight for body and mind. The wind, the seagulls, the waves on the IJ, the boats, occasionally a cruise ship, and every 5 years Sail! A little paradise in Amsterdam? Absolutely!
Auto-translated to English by AIBecause we are on the outskirts, there is no through traffic. In the middle of the street a large playground with a table tennis table and a small football pitch. And playground equipment. Behind our house only meadows.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's a nice quiet neighbourhood on the edge of the city but still close to many good amenities that a city has to offer. The neighbourhood is still becoming more beautiful.
