The Van der Helstpleinbuurt is a lively, central part of Amsterdam's Pijp district. One resident sums it up: "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:/" This single review gives a score of 8.25 out of 10. The area is densely urban, with mostly young adults and singles living in apartments. For more on the area, see the Van der Helstpleinbuurt neighbourhood.
