The Frans Halsbuurt neighbourhood
The Frans Halsbuurt neighbourhood is a busy, central pocket of the city, and the single review on Buurtje reflects that. One resident says: "Busy neighbourhood with many tourists. It's getting busier and busier with tourists. Houses are in poor condition, lots of damp and mould, and very small and noisy. Many people with kids are moving elsewhere. Lots of rubbish in the streets and a lot of nuisance from pubs and restaurants. Noise from passers-by and tourists, especially in summer." The CBS figures back up the picture of a dense, urban area: most households are single-person, and the average household size is just 1.5. It is a neighbourhood of renters and small homes, with a constant hum of activity.
