Frans Halsbuurt, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodThis 95 m² apartment on the Eerste Jacob van Campenstraat sits in the lively Frans Halsbuurt, right in the heart of the Oude Pijp. The 1879 building has been given an A energy label, so you get period charm without the draughts. At €875,000, the price is a touch above the neighbourhood average of €768,250, but that reflects the generous floor area and top-tier efficiency, a keen option for a well-finished home in this sought-after corner of Amsterdam. Apartments in Amsterdam are scarce here, with only 16 currently on the market.
The Frans Halsbuurt is a dense, urban neighbourhood, over 9,900 addresses per km², and it feels it. One long-term resident describes it as a "busy neighbourhood with many tourists", noting that "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 mixed picture: the area is packed with restaurants (0.1 km away) and bars, but the flipside is noise and litter. Most homes here were built before 1945 (95%), and the population skews young, 48% are between 25 and 45. The neighbourhood Frans Halsbuurt is undeniably vibrant, but it's not for everyone.
For your morning bread run, Dirk is just around the corner, and Albert Heijn is a couple of streets away. There are five supermarkets within a five-minute walk, so you're never short of options. Families have IKC De Kleine Reus (primary, 410 m) and Montessori Lyceum Amsterdam (secondary, 444 m) within easy reach. The municipality Amsterdam keeps the city well connected, with a train station 2.8 km away, a ten-minute cycle. Sarphatipark is a five-minute stroll for a breather from the urban bustle.
At the time of writing, this apartment is listed via Boomsma & Bruinsma Makelaars and appears on multiple channels. The home is available for viewing through the agent.

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 53H, Amsterdam
The asking price of €875,000 is about 14% above the neighbourhood average of €768,250. However, this apartment is larger than average (95 m² vs 79 m²) and has an A energy label, which is rare in an area where 95% of homes were built before 1945.

The apartment has an energy label A, which is very efficient. In the Frans Halsbuurt, 31% of homes have label A, while 44% are label C and 19% are D or lower. An A label means lower heating costs and a more comfortable home, especially in a 1879 building that has been well upgraded.
One resident who has lived there for a long time says it's getting busier with tourists, with noise from pubs and restaurants, especially in summer. The neighbourhood has a very high density (over 9,900 addresses per km²), so street life is constant. If you value peace and quiet, this might not be the best fit.
