The Wijk C neighbourhood
Wijk C is a compact, lively part of the Binnenstad district, and the single review on gives it a strong 8.38 out of 10. One resident says: "Perfect location closer to city centre" and adds: "Living so close to the city centre has pros and cons. Main con is noise. But we love how walkable this neighborhood is to everything in the city centre. We can't imagine living the same lifestyle if we live further away." That sums up the trade-off well: you trade quiet for convenience. The area is dominated by single-person households, with many young adults and a mix of ages overall. It is a neighbourhood where most people rent, and the streets are busy with students and professionals. For more on the area, see the Wijk C neighbourhood.
