Welgelegen is a diverse area with a mix of stately homes and smaller workers' cottages, as one resident describes it: "Atmospheric neighbourhood with nice neighbours. Houses with a stately character interspersed with smaller workers' cottages. You can feel the history, you can walk straight into the city centre." Another resident notes: "It's fine to live here, as long as you stay in your own house. There are huge drug problems in the neighbourhood and cars speed by. So cats can't safely go outside either." Based on two reviews, the neighbourhood has a mixed reputation. The area has a high address density (3,906 per km²) and a young population, with many single-person households. The Welgelegen neighbourhood is close to the city centre, but the reviews highlight both its charm and its challenges.
