Kop Zeedijk, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on Prins Hendrikkade sits right in the thick of things, with the buzz of the city centre all around you. At 48 m² it's a compact home, and the asking price of €475,000 is well below the neighbourhood average, about 33% lower than the typical €710,727. That makes it a keen entry point into this part of Amsterdam, especially compared to other apartments in Amsterdam.
The neighbourhood Kop Zeedijk is a mixed bag, according to residents. One says: "I am generally very happy with my neighbourhood, all amenities are nearby, I have been living here very comfortably for years. The downside is that there is often a lot of rubbish on the streets." Another describes it as "unbearably noisy and unbelievably beautiful", the street noise from tourists can last until 5 a.m., and old windows let in sound. But they also love the area: "It's so beautiful here, and two of my favorite coffee shops in town are the Priesthood and the Old Church cafe." The neighbourhood is densely populated, mostly with single-person households, and the streets are very lively.
For daily shopping, an Albert Heijn to go is just around the corner, and a full Albert Heijn is a five-minute walk away. There are several primary schools within walking distance: St. Antoniusschool is a couple of streets away, and de Burght is a ten-minute walk. The municipality Amsterdam offers everything you'd expect from a capital city, restaurants, cafés, and cultural spots are all on your doorstep.
At the time of writing the home is listed through several channels, including Samuel Real Estate. The listing is available on multiple platforms, so you can compare the details across them.

Auto-translated to English by AILet's start with the most unpleasant aspect: in the evenings, it is unbearably noisy here. When you open the window in the living room during the summer evenings to let in some cool air, it is almost impossible to hear your interlocutor due to the street noise. Even in the bedroom, which overlooks the courtyard, you can hear the sounds of the street, including the crazy cries of tourists that can be heard until 5 a.m. In old buildings, it is forbidden to install new windows, and the old windows let in noise. Additionally, it often gets very, very dirty here, with mountains of garbage, especially in the mornings before the garbage truck has had time to pass. Apart from that, I really love this area. It's so beautiful here, and two of my favorite coffee shops in town are the Priesthood and the Old Church cafe. The proximity to the central station is very convenient, making it easy to travel. The most beautiful views of the city are always just around the corner.

About Prins Hendrikkade 78H, Amsterdam
The asking price of €475,000 is about 33% below the average asking price in Kop Zeedijk (€710,727). However, the apartment is also much smaller than the neighbourhood average (48 m² vs 1398 m²). Given the compact size and central location, the price is in line with what you'd expect for a small apartment in this area.
The apartment has energy label C. That means it's reasonably efficient, not the best, but far from the worst. You can expect moderate energy costs, though the exact amount depends on your usage. In the neighbourhood, 42.9% of homes have label C, and another 42.9% have label A, so this is a typical rating for the area.
Residents report that it can be very noisy, especially in the evenings and at night. One resident says it's "unbearably noisy" with street noise from tourists until 5 a.m., and the old windows let in sound. The bedroom overlooks a courtyard, which helps, but you can still hear the street. If you're sensitive to noise, this is something to consider.
There are several Albert Heijn to go stores within a few minutes' walk, the closest is just 145 metres away. A full Albert Heijn is about 383 metres away, so you can do your weekly shopping without going far. For more variety, there are many other supermarkets within a short distance.
Amsterdam Centraal station is about 800 metres away, which is a ten-minute walk. That makes it very convenient for trains to other parts of the country and for international connections. The proximity to the station is one of the highlights mentioned by residents.
The neighbourhood has a total of 525 reported crimes, which is relatively high for a residential area. However, this is a very central, tourist-heavy part of Amsterdam, so petty crime and noise complaints are common. Residents mention that the streets can get dirty and there is often rubbish. It's a lively area, but not the quietest or cleanest.
