Frequently asked questions
About Quellijnstraat 43C, Amsterdam
Is €3,100 a fair price for this apartment?
The rent of €3,100 is above the average of €2,825 for rentals in the Frans Halsbuurt, and also above the median. The home is larger than the typical rental here, at 70 m² versus an average of 63 m², which helps explain the premium. With only six rentals currently available in the neighbourhood, the market is limited, and homes here are typically rented out within 14 days.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The energy label is B, which is an official registration recorded in the national energy label database. A B label indicates a reasonably efficient home in terms of energy performance, though the label itself does not specify the condition of the building or its installations. It is a standard classification that applies to the property as registered.
How close is the nearest train station?
The nearest train station is 2.8 kilometres from the apartment. That is a manageable distance for occasional trips, though for daily commuting you would likely rely on other transport options. The neighbourhood itself is well served by the city's tram and bus network, which is typical for this part of Amsterdam.
What is the neighbourhood like to live in?
Based on one resident review, the Frans Halsbuurt is a busy area with a strong tourist presence. The resident mentions increasing visitor numbers, street noise from pubs and restaurants, and rubbish in the streets, particularly in summer. They also note that houses are in poor condition with damp and mould, and that many families are leaving. It is a lively, central location, but not a quiet one.
How many rentals are available in this neighbourhood?
There are currently six rental properties available in the Frans Halsbuurt, with prices ranging from €2,300 to €3,250. The average rent is €2,825, and the average size is 63 m². This apartment at €3,100 is at the upper end of the price range, reflecting its larger floor area. The limited supply means options are few at any given time.

Experiences from Frans Halsbuurt
How residents experience their neighbourhood
Have lived here quite a long time. Too long. It's getting busier and busier with tourists. Houses are in poor condition, lots of damp and mould, and very small and noisy. Many people with kids are moving elsewhere. Lots of rubbish in the streets and a lot of nuisance from pubs and restaurants. Noise from passers-by and tourists, especially in summer.

Experiences from Amsterdam
How residents experience their municipality
Een hele fijne, rustige buurt met veel groen en geweldige bomen die verkoeling en ontspanning bieden. 's nachts is het er stil en donker. Dat vind ik belangrijk voor de dieren. De buurt is goed bereikbaar met metro 54 en voorzieningen zijn op loopafstand in winkelcentrum de Poort. 1 ding is een ongelofelijke doorn in het oog en dat is de hygiene. Het is dagelijks een puinzoo bij de vuilcontainers. Zwerfafval waait overal naar toe. En hoewel we met een aantal bewoners dagelijks 'prikken' en opruimen is het een never ending story. Ik zou zo graag zien dat daar een oplossing voor komt.

Auto-translated to English by AIQuiet, peaceful, relaxed, green, social and a nice mix of people
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.
