Fannius Scholtenbuurt, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodThis 1904 apartment on Groen van Prinstererstraat has been brought up to modern standards with an A energy label. At 87 m² it's a generous size for the area, and the price of €700,000 is on the high side compared to the neighbourhood average, partly because of the size and efficiency. For context, apartments in Amsterdam vary widely, but this one stands out for its combination of period charm and modern performance.
The neighbourhood Fannius Scholtenbuurt is a mixed neighbourhood where owner-occupied apartments sit alongside social housing. One resident describes it as a "nice old working-class neighbourhood near the centre" with "beautiful Amsterdam buildings from around 1910." Another says it's a "pleasant neighbourhood to live in" with "social cohesion" and friendly, involved people. The area is very urban, over 9,000 addresses per km², and mostly consists of young adults and singles. A third review is less positive, mentioning noise and integration issues, but overall the mix of incomes and ages creates a lively, if sometimes challenging, atmosphere.
For groceries, an Albert Heijn is just around the corner, and a Jumbo is a couple of streets away. There are several primary schools within walking distance: Oecumenische basisschool De Catamaran is on your doorstep, and Basisschool Westerpark is a five-minute walk. The municipality Amsterdam offers plenty of green space too, Westerpark is just a couple of streets away, perfect for a weekend stroll. A GP and a restaurant are both within a few minutes' walk, so daily errands are easy.

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 Groen van Prinstererstraat 1C, Amsterdam
The asking price is 36% above the neighbourhood average of €513,393, but this apartment is also 58% larger than the typical 55 m² in the area. With an A energy label and a central location, the premium reflects the size and modern efficiency. Whether it's fair depends on how much you value space and low energy costs.
Fannius Scholtenbuurt is a diverse, central area with a mix of owner-occupied and social housing. Residents appreciate the beautiful early-20th-century buildings and proximity to Westerpark. Some note that the shop selection is limited and public transport has worsened since tram line 3 was cancelled. The area is very urban, with many young adults and singles.
The apartment has an A energy label, which is very efficient. In the neighbourhood, only about 23% of homes have A or better, so this one stands out. You can expect relatively low heating costs compared to older buildings in the area.
There are several primary schools within walking distance: Oecumenische basisschool De Catamaran (about 250 m), Basisschool Westerpark (about 370 m), and Basisschool De Bron (about 390 m). For secondary education, Het Cartesius Lyceum is about 880 m away.
The nearest train station is 2.8 km away, so it's not within walking distance for a daily commute. You would likely use a tram or bus to reach it.
In the most recent data, 171 crimes were recorded in the neighbourhood. That's a moderate number for a central urban area, but it's worth considering if safety is a priority.
