The neighbourhood Van der Helstpleinbuurt is a dense, urban pocket with over 11,900 addresses per km². 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." The area is safe, with occasional shop burglaries, and the resident adds: "Just lock your bike properly." Most homes are pre-war, and the population skews young, with half of residents between 25 and 45.
For daily shopping, Albert Heijn is just around the corner, and Jumbo and Coop are a couple of streets away. The 3e Daltonschool Alberdingk Thijm is on your doorstep, and the Montessori Lyceum Amsterdam is a five-minute walk, making school runs easy. The municipality Amsterdam offers a park or garden within a five-minute walk, and a restaurant is just around the corner for a quick bite.
At the time of writing, the home is listed via Boomsma & Bruinsma Makelaars and also appears on Funda, so it's 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. 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 :/
