Frans Halsbuurt, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodThis apartment sits in the lively Frans Halsbuurt, right in the heart of the Oude Pijp. At €500,000, the asking price is 35% below the neighbourhood average of €768,250, which makes it a keen entry point into this sought-after area. The 51 m² floor area is smaller than the local norm of 79 m², so you're paying for location over space. For context, apartments in Amsterdam vary widely in price and size.
One resident describes it as a "busy neighbourhood with many tourists," adding: "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." The neighbourhood Frans Halsbuurt is densely populated, with mostly one-person households and a very high address density of nearly 10,000 per km². It's a young, urban area where most homes were built before 1945.
For groceries, you have a Coop just around the corner, a Jumbo a couple of streets away, and a Dirk within a five-minute walk. Schools are close too: the Montessori Lyceum Amsterdam is a couple of streets away, and Basisschool Oscar Carré is a five-minute walk. The municipality Amsterdam offers a dense network of amenities, with restaurants on your doorstep and a park within a five-minute walk.

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 Gerard Doustraat 1E3, Amsterdam
The asking price is 35% below the average asking price in the Frans Halsbuurt (€768,250), which suggests it is keenly priced. However, the floor area of 51 m² is also 35% smaller than the neighbourhood average of 79 m². The price per square metre works out at about €9,804, which is slightly below the local average of €10,103 per m². So you are paying less per square metre than typical for the area.
The home has energy label E. In the Frans Halsbuurt, most of the available homes for sale have a better energy label: 31% have label A, 6% label B, 44% label C, and 19% label D or lower. Label E means the home is less energy-efficient, so you can expect higher heating costs compared to a home with a better label.
One resident describes the Frans Halsbuurt as a busy neighbourhood with many tourists, noting noise from passers-by, pubs, and restaurants, especially in summer. The streets can be messy with rubbish. It is a very central area with a high density of people and activities, so if you value peace and quiet, this may not be the best fit.
