Eerste Helmersstraat 83-1
WG-terrein, Amsterdam
AreaA classic Amsterdam apartment in the heart of the city
This apartment on the Eerste Helmersstraat sits in a lively part of Amsterdam Oud-West. The 60 m² floor area is typical for a late-19th-century apartment, and the price of €585,000 is noticeably below the neighbourhood average of €796,167, partly because of the smaller size and the E energy label. For context, most apartments for sale in Amsterdam are larger and more expensive, so this one is keenly priced for what it is. apartments in Amsterdam
The WG-terrein neighbourhood
The WG-terrein is a compact, urban neighbourhood with a mix of students, young professionals and older residents. Two residents have shared their experiences: one calls it "too busy" and mentions "dirty place and stench of exhaust gases, very busy and noisy"; another finds it "fine" and says "school and the facilities are pleasant and I feel at ease when I walk around." Based on these two reviews, the area clearly has two sides, it's lively and central, but that comes with noise and traffic. The neighbourhood has a very high address density (over 10,000 addresses per km²), so it's one of the busiest parts of the city. the WG-terrein neighbourhood
