Van der Helstpleinbuurt, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodThis 60 m² apartment on Pieter Aertszstraat sits in the lively Van der Helstpleinbuurt, a stone's throw from the Albert Cuypmarkt. With an E energy label and a 1909 build year, it has period charm but needs attention on heating costs. At €850,000, the price is 45% above the neighbourhood average of €585,179, so it's on the high side compared to other apartments in Amsterdam.
One resident sums it up: "It's really a good neighbourhood. It's easily accessible by metro and tram, except at night. There's only 1 bus in the area and that one at 5 in the morning (to Schiphol) is super annoying. Furthermore, it's nicely green with parks and trees in the neighbourhood. There are also many amenities; shops, bakeries, butchers, eateries, really everything." The neighbourhood Van der Helstpleinbuurt is densely urban with over 11,900 addresses per km², and most homes are pre-war. It's a mix of young professionals and families, with many single-person households.
For your morning bread, Albert Heijn is just around the corner, and Jumbo is a couple of streets away. Two primary schools are within a five-minute walk: 3e Daltonschool Alberdingk Thijm and 9e Montessorischool De Scholekster. Secondary schools like Berlage Lyceum and Montessori Lyceum Amsterdam are also a short stroll away. The municipality Amsterdam offers all the cultural and dining options you'd expect from the capital.
At the time of writing the home is listed via Peters en Partners Makelaars en Taxateurs and also appears on Funda, so it's available through several channels.

It's really a good neighbourhood. It's easily accessible by metro and tram, except at night. There's only 1 bus in the area and that one at 5 in the morning (to Schiphol) is super annoying. Furthermore, it's nicely green with parks and trees in the neighbourhood. There are also many amenities; shops, bakeries, butchers, eateries, really everything. Also, it's very safe, there are occasional burglaries but they are minor and only target shops. Furthermore, no one has been murdered or large drug labs found in years. Just lock your bike properly. The houses are nice and good, but WAY TOO EXPENSIVE! Renting here is a nightmare if it's not social housing :/

About Pieter Aertszstraat 29-3, Amsterdam
The asking price is 45% above the average asking price in the neighbourhood (€585,179) and also above the median of €525,000. However, the average price per m² in the area is €10,025, and this home comes to about €14,167 per m². It's a premium listing, partly due to its size and location in a sought-after part of the Pijp.
An E label indicates the home is not very energy-efficient. You can expect higher heating costs compared to a modern home. The neighbourhood has a mix of labels: about 32% are C, 21% A, and 32% D or lower. This is typical for a pre-war building from 1909.
The neighbourhood is well served by metro and tram, though night services are limited. The nearest train station is 2.1 km away. One resident noted that the only bus runs at 5 am to Schiphol, which can be annoying.
The area has a young population: about half the residents are between 25 and 45. Many households are single-person (1,580 out of 2,555). It's a safe neighbourhood, with occasional burglaries targeting shops. One resident says: "It's very safe, there are occasional burglaries but they are minor and only target shops."
In the neighbourhood, sold homes took an average of 32 days to sell. With 156 sales in the area, the market is active. Given the high asking price, this home may take a bit longer to find a buyer.
