The Binnenstad-West neighbourhood
Binnenstad-West is a compact, busy area right next to the city centre. One resident describes it as a "Pleasant neighbourhood within walking distance of the bustling city centre", adding: "I think it's a nice neighbourhood to live in. It's quiet, yet you're within a 5-minute walk of the city centre or Noordeplantsoen. However, I think it's more of a neighbourhood for students or couples. I wouldn't raise my children here. It's too busy for that!" Based on one review, that gives the neighbourhood a score of 8.13 out of 10. The figures back up the impression: most households are single people, and the age profile is heavily skewed towards students and young adults.
