About Daniël Stalpertstraat 2, Amsterdam
The asking price of €400,000 is 51% below the average asking price in the Frans Halsbuurt (€819,333). However, this home is 260 m², which is 221% larger than the neighbourhood average of 81 m². The price per m² works out at about €1,538, well below the average of €10,735 per m². So the price is keen for the size, but the energy label D and the 1876 build year may factor into running costs.
The energy label is D. This is an official registration from EP-Online. Label D is in the middle of the scale, not the most efficient, but not the least. In the Frans Halsbuurt, 40% of homes have label A and 35% have label C, so this home is slightly below average for the area. Expect moderate energy costs, but the exact amount depends on usage and the specific installations.
The Frans Halsbuurt is very central, with a high density of shops and restaurants. A supermarket is just around the corner, and several others are within a five-minute walk. Schools are close by, including secondary schools within a couple of streets. The area is busy with tourists, especially in summer, and some residents report noise and litter. It is a lively, urban environment.
The nearest train station is 2.8 km away, which is about a 35-minute walk or a short cycle.
The building was constructed in 1876. The listing does not provide details about the condition of the property. The energy label D and the age suggest that some aspects may be dated, but no specific information is available from the agent.
There is one review from a resident who has lived there a long time. They describe it as a busy neighbourhood with many tourists, increasing noise and litter, and some housing issues like damp and mould. They note that many families are moving away. This is a single perspective, so it may not reflect everyone's experience.
How residents experience their neighbourhood
Have lived here quite a long time. Too long. 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.

How residents experience their municipality
IJburg is a new district still under development and it's getting better with all the amenities and a beach nearby. And you're also quickly out of the city and into the greenery.

Auto-translated to English by AII lived here for about 12 years. The neighbourhood has clear advantages: good connections by tram, bus and ferry/boat, plenty of supermarkets, gyms and practical amenities nearby. For me, however, there was one major drawback: structural low-frequency noise, demonstrably coming from commercial shipping on the Amsterdam-Rijnkanaal. If you are sensitive to that, it can be very burdensome. In my case, it was clearly noticeable indoors, especially at night. Neighbours said they slept with earplugs and extra insulation offered limited to no solution. The municipality took measurements at the time and acknowledged that the noise was significant, but indicated they could do little or nothing about it because the source fell outside their direct authority. My honest advice: visit this neighbourhood not only during the day, but also in the evening and at night, and pay specific attention to low-frequency humming or vibrations. For people sensitive to noise, I would personally strongly advise against this location.

Auto-translated to English by AINice, quiet and reasonably cosy neighbourhood. Good accessibility, the Amsterdam Forest nearby. Lots of different facilities within walking distance. Nice to live here with a family and pets! Quite a few schools within cycling distance. Hygiene in the neighbourhood is above the average level in Amsterdam. VUmc very close by.
Auto-translated to English by AIAt the end of the Silodam lies the striking MVRDV building. Surrounded by water on all sides. Every apartment has a view of the IJ and/or the Oude Houthaven. The views are therefore phenomenal and every day is different due to the weather. The sunrises and sunsets are unbeatable. Because the building is at the end of the Silodam, there is no through traffic and every person is either a resident or a visitor. This makes it, by Amsterdam standards, an exceptionally safe living environment. There is little turnover. The residents of this building form a close-knit community. A nice mix of families with and without children and single people who help each other where needed. And that too is a special quality in an increasingly transient Amsterdam. Within walking distance are the Haarlemmerdijk and the markets where you can find all the hustle and bustle if you feel like it. On the Silodam there is peace and quiet, a delight for body and mind. The wind, the seagulls, the waves on the IJ, the boats, occasionally a cruise ship, and every 5 years Sail! A little paradise in Amsterdam? Absolutely!
Auto-translated to English by AIBecause we are on the outskirts, there is no through traffic. In the middle of the street a large playground with a table tennis table and a small football pitch. And playground equipment. Behind our house only meadows.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's a nice quiet neighbourhood on the edge of the city but still close to many good amenities that a city has to offer. The neighbourhood is still becoming more beautiful.
