Van der Helstpleinbuurt, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodThis 50 m² apartment on Pieter Aertszstraat sits in the lively Nieuwe Pijp, a neighbourhood known for its 19th-century architecture and bustling street life. Built in 1909, it has an E energy label, so heating costs will be something to factor in. At €450,000, the asking price is 23% below the neighbourhood average of €585,179, making it a keen entry point for the area. For context, apartments in Amsterdam vary widely, but this one is priced to move.
The neighbourhood Van der Helstpleinbuurt scores an 8.25 from its residents. One resident says: "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:/" The neighbourhood is densely populated, with mostly young adults and singles, and a high proportion of private renters.
For your morning bread, an Albert Heijn is on your doorstep, and another is just around the corner. The 3e Daltonschool Alberdingk Thijm is a couple of streets away, and the Berlage Lyceum is a five-minute walk for secondary education. The municipality Amsterdam offers all the cultural and recreational options you'd expect from the capital, with parks and restaurants within easy reach.
