The neighbourhood Van der Helstpleinbuurt is a compact, urban area with a mix of young professionals and families. 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." The neighbourhood has a very high density of 11,906 addresses per km², typical for a strongly urban area. Most homes are flats, and about a quarter are owner-occupied.
For your morning bread, Albert Heijn is just around the corner, and Lidl is a couple of streets away. Two primary schools are within a five-minute walk: 3e Daltonschool Alberdingk Thijm and 9e Montessorischool De Scholekster. For secondary education, IVKO and Montessori Lyceum Amsterdam are also within walking distance. The municipality Amsterdam offers all the cultural and recreational options you'd expect from the capital.
At the time of writing the home is listed via Interhouse Makelaars Amsterdam and Interhouse makelaars Amsterdam, so it is available through several channels.

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.

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 :/
