Van der Helstpleinbuurt: green, safe and well-served

The neighbourhood Van der Helstpleinbuurt is a compact, urban neighbourhood with around 3,945 residents. Most households are single-person, and the area is dominated by young adults aged 25 to 45. 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!" The neighbourhood scores an 8.25 out of 10 based on one review.
