WG-terrein, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodThis 115 m² apartment on Anna Spenglerstraat sits on the lively WG-terrein, a former hospital complex turned cultural and residential hub. With its high ceilings and period details, the home has a spacious feel that matches its generous floor area. At €1,100,000, the asking price is 22% above the neighbourhood average of €898,800, which is understandable given the size, 39% larger than the typical 83 m² in the area. For context, apartments in Amsterdam vary widely, but this one stands out for its combination of character and space.
The WG-terrein is a dense, inner-city neighbourhood with over 10,600 addresses per km², very strongly urban. Based on two reviews, opinions are mixed. One resident calls it "Too busy": "Nice people but dirty place and stench of exhaust gases, very busy and noisy." Another finds it "Fine": "My experience in the neighbourhood as a 21-year-old student is limited because I don't need to be there much; I would like to be more in touch with the neighbourhood, but that might be down to me, I don't know how. School and the facilities are pleasant and I feel at ease when I walk around." The area has many single-person households (1,080 out of 1,680 homes) and a young skew, 915 residents are aged 25-45. For more on the area, see the neighbourhood WG-terrein.
For groceries, you have an Albert Heijn just around the corner and a Jumbo a couple of streets away. Schools are close too: Huygens College (secondary) is a five-minute walk, and Kindcentrum De Kinkerbuurt (primary) is just around the corner. The Vondelpark is a ten-minute walk away, and there are plenty of restaurants within a couple of streets. The municipality Amsterdam offers all the cultural and transport links you'd expect from the capital.
At the time of writing, the home is listed through several channels, including Peters en Partners Makelaars en Taxateurs and Funda.

About Anna Spenglerstraat 119, Amsterdam
The asking price is 22% above the neighbourhood average of €898,800, but the apartment is also 39% larger than the typical 83 m² in the area. Given the size and the central WG-terrein location, the price is on the high side but reflects the extra space.
The home has energy label C. That means it has reasonable insulation and energy efficiency, though not as good as modern standards. You can expect moderate energy costs, but nothing extreme.
The neighbourhood is very densely populated with over 10,600 addresses per km². Resident reviews mention it can be noisy and busy, with exhaust fumes. One reviewer described it as "too busy," while another found it fine for a student lifestyle.
Huygens College (secondary) is 328 m away, and Kindcentrum De Kinkerbuurt (primary) is 391 m away. Several other primary schools are within a ten-minute walk, including Basisschool Het Winterkoninkje and Brede School Annie M.G. Schmidt.
The nearest train station is 3 km away. That's a longer walk or a short bike ride, but trams and buses in the area connect well to the rest of Amsterdam.
The CBS data records 250 total crimes in the area. That's a moderate figure for a dense urban neighbourhood, but it's always wise to check local safety reports for the most current picture.
