NeighbourhoodThis apartment on Eerste Jan van der Heijdenstraat sits in the heart of the Oude Pijp, a neighbourhood known for its bustling market and canal-side charm.

The neighbourhood Hercules Seghersbuurt is one of Amsterdam's densest, with over 10,000 addresses per km². It's a neighbourhood of mostly pre-war buildings (93.5% built before 1945) and almost entirely flats. The population skews young, half are between 25 and 45, and many live alone (1,185 single-person households). With 233 reported crimes, it's a lively urban area. No resident reviews are available for this street, so the picture comes from the statistics.
For your morning bread, the Albert Cuypmarkt is just around the corner. Supermarkets are a couple of streets away: Coop, Jumbo, and Aldi. Schools are within a ten-minute walk, Basisschool Oscar Carré and Montessori Lyceum Amsterdam. The municipality Amsterdam offers all the cultural and transport links you'd expect from the capital, though the nearest train station is 2.5 km away.
