Eerste Hugo de Grootstraat 15-3

A classic Amsterdam apartment on a lively street

This 88 m² apartment on the Eerste Hugo de Grootstraat sits in a 1895 building, right in the heart of the Frederik Hendrikbuurt. The listing does not state an energy label, so the exact efficiency of the home is unknown. At €800,000, the price is 43% above the neighbourhood average of €558,859, but the floor area is 49% larger than the typical 59 m², so the price per m² is actually in line with the market. For context, apartments in Amsterdam vary widely in price and size.

Frederik Hendrikbuurt-Zuidoost: a mixed, urban neighbourhood

This is a dense, very strongly urban area with over 12,000 addresses per km². Most homes are pre-war (82%), and the population skews young: nearly half are between 25 and 45. Two residents reviewed the area: one says, "I regret that only junkies and alcoholics are placed in these small houses; as a non-addict, I have to stand up for myself in an unpleasant way." Another notes, "Occasionally strange people on the street, especially at night, no burglaries though. Small houses for a hefty price unfortunately." The neighbourhood Frederik Hendrikbuurt-Zuidoost has a mix of incomes and many single-person households.

Daily life on the Eerste Hugo de Grootstraat

For groceries, Albert Heijn is just around the corner, and Dirk is a couple of streets away. There are several primary schools within a five-minute walk, including Basisschool Dr. Rijk Kramer and Theo Thijssenschool Amsterdam. The municipality Amsterdam offers extensive amenities, with a restaurant and a park or public garden both within a few minutes' walk. The nearest train station is 2.9 km away, so you'd likely cycle or take public transport for longer journeys.
