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 38-3, Amsterdam
The asking price of €622,000 is 19% below the neighbourhood average of €768,250, and also below the median of €760,000. Given the 64 m² floor area, that works out to €9,719 per m², which is slightly under the neighbourhood average of €10,103 per m². So it's priced keenly compared to other homes in the Frans Halsbuurt.
The apartment has energy label C. That's a middling rating, it means the home is reasonably efficient but not top-tier. In the neighbourhood, 31.3% of homes have label A, 6.3% label B, and 43.8% label C, so this home is in line with the local norm. You can expect moderate energy costs.
The nearest train station is 2.8 km away. That's about a 35-minute walk or a short bike ride. The neighbourhood is well served by trams and buses, but the station itself is not within easy walking distance.
The Frans Halsbuurt has a young, urban profile: most residents are between 25 and 45, and only 220 households have children. The one resident review mentions that many families with kids are moving elsewhere due to noise and tourist crowds. There are primary and secondary schools within walking distance, but the area is more suited to singles and couples.
There are 16 apartments for sale in the neighbourhood right now. Prices range from €325,000 to €1,450,000, with an average of €768,250. The average time on market for sold homes is 40 days, which suggests a fairly active market.
The neighbourhood recorded 314 total crimes in the latest data. That's a relatively high number, but it reflects the dense, central urban environment. The resident review mentions nuisance from pubs and restaurants, and rubbish in the streets.
The listing does not mention a garden, balcony, or terrace. The apartment is on the third floor (38-3), so it's unlikely to have private outdoor space. There is a park or garden 0.4 km away, just a couple of streets from the home.
