Van der Helstpleinbuurt
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.
