The neighbourhood is a firm favourite with 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. 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:/" The neighbourhood Van der Helstpleinbuurt is densely populated, with mostly young adults and singles, and a high proportion of private renters.
Your morning bread run is a couple of streets away to Albert Heijn or Jumbo, both within a five-minute walk. For the kids, the 3e Daltonschool Alberdingk Thijm is just around the corner, and the Montessori Lyceum is a couple of streets away. The municipality Amsterdam keeps the area well-served with parks and public transport, though the nearest train station is a ten-minute walk.
At the time of writing the home is listed through several channels, including Hallie & Van Klooster Makelaardij.
