The Lange Elisabethstraat, Mariaplaats en omgeving neighbourhood

The location is pleasant, but it's the centre so there's almost always noise pollution." Another adds: "Street full of shops and cosiness. Nice and bustling sometimes also noisy but that's not the residents' fault haha." Based on two reviews, the neighbourhood scores 7.32 out of 10. The area is dominated by single-person households, with a high share of residents aged 25 to 45, so it has a distinctly young, urban feel.
