The Oude Westen
Two residents give the neighbourhood a 7.0 out of 10. One calls it a "perfect spot" with "plenty of entertainment". Another says: "The neighbourhood has a lot of potential to live comfortably, but due to frequent nuisance from confused people on the street, drug deals, drug use, and even sleepers in the porches in winter, I often feel unsafe." They also note that "the location is close to shops on the Nieuwe Binnenweg, the area is well connected by metro, tram and bus, I live close to the museums, restaurants in the city centre, and despite that it's quiet on my street in the evenings." The neighbourhood Oude Westen is densely populated, with mostly single-person households and a young, transient feel.
Daily life on the street
For groceries, Albert Heijn is just around the corner, and Coop is a couple of streets away. There are several primary schools within a five-minute walk, including Augustinus and KC Het Oude Westen, and secondary schools like Havo/vwo voor Muziek en Dans are also close by.
