Van der Helstpleinbuurt: green, safe, and well-served
One resident describes it as the "Best neighbourhood", noting: "It's really a good neighbourhood. It's easily accessible by metro and tram, except at night. There's only 1 bus in the area and that one at 5 in the morning (to Schiphol) is super annoying. Furthermore, it's nicely green with parks and trees in the neighbourhood. There are also many amenities; shops, bakeries, butchers, eateries, really everything. Also, it's very safe, there are occasional burglaries but they are minor and only target shops. Furthermore, no one has been murdered or large drug labs found in years. Just lock your bike properly. The houses are nice and good, but WAY TOO EXPENSIVE! Renting here is a nightmare if it's not social housing:/" The neighbourhood has a very high density of 11,906 addresses per km², typical for central Amsterdam. Most residents are singles (1,580 one-person households) and the average household size is just 1.5. Learn more about the neighbourhood Van der Helstpleinbuurt.
