Van der Helstpleinbuurt: green, safe and well-served

The Van der Helstpleinbuurt scores an 8.25 out of 10 from residents. 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." The neighbourhood is densely populated, with mostly one-person households and a young demographic. For more on the area, visit the neighbourhood Van der Helstpleinbuurt.

A park or public garden is on your doorstep, and a restaurant is just around the corner. The municipality Amsterdam offers all the cultural and practical amenities you'd expect from the capital.

Best neighbourhood

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 :/
