Fannius Scholtenbuurt, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodThis 68 m² apartment on Fannius Scholtenstraat sits in a quiet pocket of the Staatsliedenbuurt, with the Westerpark just a couple of streets away. The building dates from 1900 but the home has been brought up to modern standards, energy label A means low heating costs and a comfortable indoor climate. At €545,000, the price is a touch above the neighbourhood average of €513,393, but the combination of size and efficiency makes it a fair proposition for a buyer who values both character and low bills. For context, apartments in Amsterdam vary widely in price and condition.
The neighbourhood Fannius Scholtenbuurt is a classic Amsterdam working-class area that has become more diverse over time. One resident describes it as a 'nice old working-class neighbourhood near the centre', noting the Westerpark around the corner and beautiful Amsterdam buildings from around 1910. Another says it's a 'pleasant neighbourhood to live in', with social cohesion between older social-housing residents and newer owner-occupiers. The area is densely populated, over 9,000 addresses per km², and mostly consists of flats. A third review is less positive, mentioning tensions between different groups, but the overall score of 6.36 out of 10 reflects a mixed but generally liveable environment.
For your morning bread, Albert Heijn is on your doorstep, and a second Albert Heijn is a ten-minute walk away. Ekoplaza and Jumbo are also within a ten-minute walk. Basisschool De Bron is just around the corner, and Oecumenische basisschool De Catamaran is a couple of streets away. For secondary education, Het Cartesius Lyceum is a ten-minute walk. The municipality Amsterdam offers a wide range of amenities, but the immediate neighbourhood has a limited shop selection according to residents.
At the time of writing the home is listed through several channels, including Dutch Real Estate Company, Dutch Real Estate Company Amsterdam, and Dutch Real Estate Company B.V. on Funda.

Honestly crazy! I live in the centre of little Jordan and it's really not a dream! The people outside are different than the dictionary! And the problem like all the time the 'borders'! Actually. If I want to report everything to the police I call them every day! But I have 'neighbours' with walls like head, they are really magical! All the time they are the people people! All the time willed war you want meet than you! They can try to make the food then call 112 because the other but they live in richland over the phone make noise in the nearby apartment! They are really satisfied with their integration! The one full of experience and we are the brave! Boring and all the time want pampering and dangerous for society! But yes Garden of Eden! Luckily it's forbidden now on us!
Auto-translated to English by AIThe neighbourhood has a very diverse group of residents. Here, people with bought apartments live among those who often rent apartments through urgency and the social housing association. Westerpark around the corner, beautiful nature. Accessibility by public transport has worsened since the cancellation of tram line 3. I also find the range of shops very poor.
Auto-translated to English by AIQuiet neighbourhood with beautiful Amsterdam buildings from around 1910. Location is great, close to the centre but also near the lovely Westerpark. Social cohesion is also present here, older residents through social housing mixed with new residents with high incomes and owner-occupied homes. People are friendly and involved. I enjoy living here.
Auto-translated to English by AIWith a few small adjustments, we can make Staatsliedenbuurt shine again!!
Auto-translated to English by AII've only lived here for a few months and I love my apartment in a building from 1905. I have friendly neighbours with whom I share the stairwell and front door. Unfortunately, my bikes are not safe at night and they are stolen on a regular basis. Because Westerpark is exploited for a polluting commercial festival or event almost every weekend, there is not enough nature in my living environment. Furthermore, as far as I'm concerned, there could be more and different shops and such on Van Hallstraat or the beginning of Haarlemmerweg.

About Fannius Scholtenstraat 66-1, Amsterdam
The asking price of €545,000 is about 6% above the average sale price in the Fannius Scholtenbuurt (€513,393) and significantly above the median of €450,000. However, this apartment is larger than average (68 m² vs 55 m²) and has an excellent energy label A, which is rare in a neighbourhood where 96% of homes were built before 1945. Given the size and efficiency, the price is in line with the market for a well-maintained home.
The energy label is A, which is very efficient for a home built in 1900. In the neighbourhood, only 23% of homes have label A or better. This means lower monthly energy bills and a more comfortable home, especially in winter. It also adds to the property's long-term value as energy regulations tighten.
The Fannius Scholtenbuurt has a mix of residents, with about 16% of households having children. There are several primary schools within walking distance, including Basisschool De Bron (145 m) and Oecumenische basisschool De Catamaran (220 m). The Westerpark is just around the corner, offering green space for children to play. However, some residents note that the range of shops is poor, so you may need to travel for certain errands.
The nearest train station is 2.8 km away, so it's not within walking distance. However, the neighbourhood is well served by trams and buses, though one resident mentioned that tram line 3 was cancelled, reducing options. The high density of addresses (9,196 per km²) means many amenities are within walking distance, reducing the need for daily public transport.
In the most recent data, 171 crimes were reported in the neighbourhood. With a population of 3,635, that's about 47 crimes per 1,000 residents, which is moderate for a dense urban area. Some resident reviews mention tensions, but others describe the area as quiet and pleasant. As with any city neighbourhood, it's worth visiting at different times of day.
For an apartment in a building from 1900, costs typically cover maintenance of common areas, the building's insurance, and possibly a reserve fund for future repairs. You would need to ask the agent for the exact amount.
