Lots of rubbish in the streets and a lot of nuisance from pubs and restaurants."

The neighbourhood Frans Halsbuurt is very urban, with an address density of nearly 10,000 per km².

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.

About Ruysdaelkade 61-3, Amsterdam
Yes, it's competitive. The average rent for apartments in the Frans Halsbuurt is €3,033, and the median is €3,100. At €2,750, this home is below both, and the price per m² (€35.71) is also lower than the neighbourhood average of €45.68. Given the A energy label and central location, it represents good value.
The Frans Halsbuurt is not particularly family-oriented. Only 220 of the 1,780 households have children, and the resident review mentions that many families are moving away due to noise, rubbish, and poor housing conditions. The area is dominated by singles and young professionals.
The nearest train station is 2.8 km away, which is about a 35-minute walk or a short tram ride. The area is well served by trams and buses, but for longer journeys you'll need to factor in that distance.
The apartment has an A energy label, which is very efficient. This means heating costs are likely to be low, and the home is well insulated. It's a strong point for a 19th-century building.
Homes in the Frans Halsbuurt are rented out quickly, on average within 12 days. This suggests a fast-moving market, so if you're interested, it's worth acting promptly.
