The Binnenstad-Zuid neighbourhood
Binnenstad-Zuid is the southern part of the city centre, a dense urban area with a very high address density. It's a neighbourhood of mostly small households, the average household size is just 1.2 people, and a large share of residents are between 15 and 45. Based on three reviews, residents appreciate the friendly atmosphere and the convenience: "People are friendly, I enjoy living here," says one. Another notes: "There's the occasional stabbing here and there, but otherwise has everything you need. Lots of nice people and shops. Enjoy living here. Can be noisy at night though." A third adds: "Nice neighbourhood and almost everything within walking distance. The only pity is that there is little to no greenery in the street/neighbourhood." This is the Binnenstad-Zuid neighbourhood in a nutshell: lively, central, but not without its downsides.
