Prins Hendrikkade 16B
Hemelrijk, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodA classic Amsterdam apartment on Prins Hendrikkade
This rental apartment sits on Prins Hendrikkade, right in the heart of Amsterdam's canal district. The listing does not state an energy label, so the rest of this page focuses on the home's location and the neighbourhood. At 57 m², it is considerably more compact than the neighbourhood average of 99 m², and the asking rent of €3,100 per month is on the high side compared with the average of €3,500 for larger homes. For context, apartments in Amsterdam typically command a premium in this part of the city.
The Hemelrijk neighbourhood
Hemelrijk is a tiny enclave within the Burgwallen-Nieuwe Zijde, with just over 550 residents. It is a predominantly adult area: half of the population is between 25 and 45, and two-thirds of households are single-person. The streets are lively and urban, with an address density among the highest in the country. There are no resident reviews available for this neighbourhood, so the picture here comes from the statistics. The Hemelrijk neighbourhood is a stone's throw from the Dam and the Royal Palace, yet it retains a village-like calm once you step off the main tourist routes.
Life on the street
Daily life here revolves around the essentials, all within a short stroll. An Albert Heijn supermarket is just around the corner, and several AH to go outlets are a couple of streets away. For families, the nearest primary school, de Burght, is a five-minute walk, while the Vinse School for secondary education is about the same distance. The area is also well served by public transport, with the nearest train station about 1.3 km away. The municipality of Amsterdam provides a dense network of amenities, from restaurants on your doorstep to a library a short walk away.

Experiences from Amsterdam
How residents experience their municipality
IJburg is a new district still under development and it's getting better with all the amenities and a beach nearby. And you're also quickly out of the city and into the greenery.

Auto-translated to English by AII lived here for about 12 years. The neighbourhood has clear advantages: good connections by tram, bus and ferry/boat, plenty of supermarkets, gyms and practical amenities nearby. For me, however, there was one major drawback: structural low-frequency noise, demonstrably coming from commercial shipping on the Amsterdam-Rijnkanaal. If you are sensitive to that, it can be very burdensome. In my case, it was clearly noticeable indoors, especially at night. Neighbours said they slept with earplugs and extra insulation offered limited to no solution. The municipality took measurements at the time and acknowledged that the noise was significant, but indicated they could do little or nothing about it because the source fell outside their direct authority. My honest advice: visit this neighbourhood not only during the day, but also in the evening and at night, and pay specific attention to low-frequency humming or vibrations. For people sensitive to noise, I would personally strongly advise against this location.

Auto-translated to English by AINice, quiet and reasonably cosy neighbourhood. Good accessibility, the Amsterdam Forest nearby. Lots of different facilities within walking distance. Nice to live here with a family and pets! Quite a few schools within cycling distance. Hygiene in the neighbourhood is above the average level in Amsterdam. VUmc very close by.
Auto-translated to English by AIAt the end of the Silodam lies the striking MVRDV building. Surrounded by water on all sides. Every apartment has a view of the IJ and/or the Oude Houthaven. The views are therefore phenomenal and every day is different due to the weather. The sunrises and sunsets are unbeatable. Because the building is at the end of the Silodam, there is no through traffic and every person is either a resident or a visitor. This makes it, by Amsterdam standards, an exceptionally safe living environment. There is little turnover. The residents of this building form a close-knit community. A nice mix of families with and without children and single people who help each other where needed. And that too is a special quality in an increasingly transient Amsterdam. Within walking distance are the Haarlemmerdijk and the markets where you can find all the hustle and bustle if you feel like it. On the Silodam there is peace and quiet, a delight for body and mind. The wind, the seagulls, the waves on the IJ, the boats, occasionally a cruise ship, and every 5 years Sail! A little paradise in Amsterdam? Absolutely!
Auto-translated to English by AIBecause we are on the outskirts, there is no through traffic. In the middle of the street a large playground with a table tennis table and a small football pitch. And playground equipment. Behind our house only meadows.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's a nice quiet neighbourhood on the edge of the city but still close to many good amenities that a city has to offer. The neighbourhood is still becoming more beautiful.
