The asking price of €450,000 is exactly in line with the neighbourhood median, making it a fair proposition compared to other apartments in Amsterdam.
Residents describe it as a 'nice old working-class neighbourhood near the centre' with a very diverse mix of people. One review notes: 'Quiet neighbourhood with beautiful Amsterdam buildings from around 1910. Location is great, close to the centre but also near the lovely Westerpark.' Another mentions that social cohesion is present, with older social-housing residents alongside new owner-occupiers. The neighbourhood Fannius Scholtenbuurt is densely populated, with mostly single-person households and a young skew, over half the residents are between 25 and 45.
For daily errands, an Albert Heijn is just around the corner, and a Jumbo is a couple of streets away. There are several primary schools within a five-minute walk, including Oecumenische basisschool De Catamaran and Basisschool De Bron. The municipality Amsterdam offers all the cultural and leisure options you'd expect, with Westerpark a short stroll away.

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 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 Joan Melchior Kemperstraat 85-2, Amsterdam
Yes, the asking price matches the neighbourhood median of €450,000 exactly. The average price per m² in the Fannius Scholtenbuurt is €9,700, and this home works out at about €8,654 per m², so it's slightly below the average. Given that similar apartments in the area sell within 41 days on average, it's priced realistically.
The energy label is C, which is fairly typical for a pre-war apartment in this area, about 35% of homes in the neighbourhood have label C. It means the home has reasonable insulation but you can expect moderate energy costs. It's not the most efficient, but also not the worst.
The neighbourhood recorded 171 total crimes in the latest data, which is moderate for such a dense urban area. Residents mention mixed experiences: one review highlights issues with noise and social tensions, while another finds it quiet and pleasant. It's a diverse area with both challenges and strong community spirit.
The nearest train station is 2.8 km away, so it's not on your doorstep. However, the area is well served by trams and buses, tram line 3 used to run here but was cancelled, as one resident noted. The high address density (9,196 per km²) means many stops are within walking distance.
Yes, Westerpark is just a couple of streets away (about 400 m). It's a large, popular park with plenty of green space, playgrounds, and cafes. Residents often mention it as a highlight of the area.
The area attracts a mix: about 29% of homes are owner-occupied, and the rest are rented. Many buyers are young professionals or couples, given the high proportion of 25-45 year olds (45% of residents). The average household size is 1.6, so it's popular with singles and childless couples.
