Frans Halsbuurt, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodThis two-bedroom apartment on the Eerste Jacob van Campenstraat sits in one of Amsterdam's liveliest neighbourhoods. With 57 m² and an A energy label, it's a compact but efficient home. The rent of €3,100 is exactly the median for the area, so it's in line with the market. For context, apartments in Amsterdam vary widely, but this one is fairly priced for its size and location.
This is a dense, urban neighbourhood, the address density is nearly 10,000 per km², making it one of the busiest in the city. The one resident review sums it up: "Busy neighbourhood with many 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." It's a lively area, but not for everyone. For more on the area, see the neighbourhood Frans Halsbuurt.
Your morning bread run is to Dirk, just around the corner. Ekoplaza and Albert Heijn are also a couple of streets away. For school runs, the Montessori Lyceum Amsterdam is a five-minute walk, and IKC De Kleine Reus is similarly close. The neighbourhood is packed with restaurants, the nearest is on your doorstep. For a quieter moment, the park is a five-minute walk. The municipality Amsterdam offers all the city's amenities, but here you're right in the thick of it.
At the time of writing, the home is listed through several channels, including AMSTR Property B.V. and Funda. The listing is active and available for viewing.

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.

About Eerste Jacob van Campenstraat 33-2, Amsterdam
Yes, it's exactly the median rent for apartments in Frans Halsbuurt, which is €3,100. The average price per m² is €45.68, and this one works out to about €54 per m², slightly above average, but the A energy label and central location justify it. With only three rentals currently available in the neighbourhood, it's a competitive market.
The resident review suggests it's not ideal for families: many families with children are moving out due to noise, rubbish, and tourist crowds. Only 13% of households have children, and the average household size is 1.5, reflecting a high proportion of singles. Schools are nearby, but the atmosphere is more suited to young professionals or students.
The nearest train station is 2.8 km away, so it's not walkable for daily commuting. However, the neighbourhood is very well served by trams and buses, the high address density means stops are plentiful. You can reach Amsterdam Centraal in about 15 minutes by tram.
Homes in this neighbourhood are rented out in an average of 12 days, which is fast. With only three apartments currently available, you'll want to act promptly if you're interested. The market is active, and similar properties don't stay listed for long.
An A label means the home is very energy-efficient, with low heating costs and good insulation. This is a significant advantage in a 19th-century building, where many older apartments have poor labels. You'll save on monthly bills compared to a G-label home, though exact savings depend on usage.
The main downside is the noise and tourist crowds, as highlighted by the resident review. The streets can be busy, especially in summer, and rubbish is a common complaint. The apartment itself is in an older building, so soundproofing may be limited. However, if you enjoy a vibrant, central location, these are trade-offs.
