WG-terrein, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on the Eerste Constantijn Huygensstraat is a quiet retreat in a lively city. Built in 2011, it has an A+ energy label, so it's efficient and well-insulated. At €639,000, the asking price is 29% below the neighbourhood average of €898,800, making it a keen entry into the Amsterdam market. For context, apartments in Amsterdam vary widely, but this one stands out for its modern build and low energy costs.
The neighbourhood WG-terrein is a dense, urban area with over 10,000 addresses per square kilometre. It's home to many singles and students, with a small number of families. Two residents reviewed it: one found it "too busy", "nice people but dirty place and stench of exhaust gases, very busy and noisy". Another called it "fine", noting that "school and the facilities are pleasant and I feel at ease when I walk around". So it's a neighbourhood of contrasts: vibrant but noisy, convenient but sometimes grubby.
For groceries, you have a Jumbo just around the corner, an Albert Heijn a couple of streets away, and a Lidl nearby too. Schools are close: Huygens College is on your doorstep for secondary education, and OBS Leonardo da Vinci primary school is a five-minute walk. The municipality Amsterdam offers all the cultural and recreational options you'd expect, with parks and restaurants within easy reach.
At the time of writing, the home is listed via Edens Makelaardij and available through several channels including Funda and Pararius.

Nice people but dirty place and stench of exhaust gases, very busy and noisy
Auto-translated to English by AIMy 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.

About Eerste Constantijn Huygensstraat 20C, Amsterdam
The asking price is 29% below the average asking price in the neighbourhood (€898,800) and close to the median of €650,000. Given the modern build, A+ energy label, and 79 m² floor area, it's priced keenly compared to other apartments in WG-terrein.

One resident described the area as 'very busy and noisy' with a 'stench of exhaust gases'. Another said it was 'fine' and felt at ease. It's a dense urban area, so some noise is to be expected, but opinions vary.
Huygens College (secondary) is on your doorstep. For primary education, OBS Leonardo da Vinci is a five-minute walk away, and Kindcentrum De Kinkerbuurt is also within walking distance.
The nearest train station is 3 km away. That's about a 10-minute cycle or a short bus ride.
The neighbourhood recorded 250 total crimes in the latest data. That's a moderate number for such a dense area, but it's worth noting that the resident review mentioned the area can feel 'dirty' and 'noisy'.
The neighbourhood has few families (only 250 households with children out of 1,680 homes). The home itself is a 79 m² apartment, which could suit a small family, but the area is more popular with singles and students.
