A classic Amsterdam apartment on Ferdinand Bolstraat
This apartment sits on one of the Oude Pijp's liveliest streets, with the energy of the Gerard Doubuurt right outside the door.

At 83 m², the floor area is 36% larger than the neighbourhood average of 61 m², and the rent of €2,995 sits at the top of the local range, which runs from €2,150 to €2,950. For context, apartments in Amsterdam in this part of the city tend to command a premium for their central setting.
Life in the Gerard Doubuurt
The Gerard Doubuurt is a compact, close-knit pocket of the Oude Pijp, and the single review on gives it a solid 8 out of 10. One resident, who titled their review "Everything in one neighbourhood," says: "You can easily get out in this neighbourhood." That sums up the appeal here, where daily life unfolds on foot. The area is home to around 2,055 people, with a high share of single-person households, and the streets are filled with a mix of young professionals and long-time locals. It is a place where the cafés, galleries and markets of the Gerard Doubuurt neighbourhood are never more than a few steps away.
Daily life on the street
For the everyday routine, the essentials are all within easy reach. A Dirk supermarket is just around the corner, with a Jumbo and a Coop a couple of streets away, and an Albert Heijn a short stroll further. For school runs, Basisschool Oscar Carré is a five-minute walk, while the Montessori Lyceum Amsterdam is close by for secondary education. The neighbourhood's mix of independent shops and eateries means you can pick up bread, groceries and a coffee without thinking twice. All of this sits within the municipality of Amsterdam, where the city's wider amenities are never far.
