The Weteringbuurt recorded 212 total crimes in the latest data. This is a relatively high number for a small area, but it reflects the dense, central location with many bars and restaurants.

There are 24 apartments for sale in the neighbourhood, with prices ranging from €375,000 to €2,760,000. The average time on the market for sold homes is 38 days, which suggests a fairly active market.
