Van der Helstpleinbuurt, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodThis 64 m² apartment on the second floor of a 1892 building overlooks the Sarphatipark, one of the city's most beloved green spaces. The energy label is C, so heating costs are moderate. At €675,000, the asking price is 15% above the neighbourhood average of €585,179, which is on the high side, but you're paying for the park view and the prime De Pijp location. For context, apartments in Amsterdam vary widely in price.
The neighbourhood Van der Helstpleinbuurt is a dense, urban area with a very high address density (11,906 per km²). Most homes are pre-war (85%) and the neighbourhood is dominated by one-person households (average household size 1.5). One resident sums it up: "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." The only downside mentioned: "The houses are nice and good, but WAY TOO EXPENSIVE!"
For groceries, you have an Albert Heijn just around the corner and a Jumbo a couple of streets away. The 3e Daltonschool Alberdingk Thijm is on your doorstep, and the Montessori Lyceum Amsterdam is a five-minute walk. The Sarphatipark itself is just around the corner, perfect for a morning jog or an afternoon read. The municipality Amsterdam offers all the cultural and transport links you'd expect from the capital.

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 :/

About Sarphatipark 110-2, Amsterdam
The asking price is 15% above the average asking price in the Van der Helstpleinbuurt (€585,179) and also above the median of €525,000. However, the apartment overlooks the Sarphatipark, which is a premium location. In the past year, homes in the neighbourhood sold for an average of €628,428, so the price is on the high side but not unheard of for a well-placed property.
The energy label is C, which is average for a pre-war apartment in Amsterdam. You can expect moderate energy costs, but it's not as efficient as a modern home. In the neighbourhood, about 32% of homes have label C, while 32% have D or lower, so this is a typical rating for the area.
Residents consider it very safe. One review mentions occasional burglaries that target shops, not homes, and notes that no serious crime has occurred in years. The total number of crimes reported in the neighbourhood is 313, which is moderate for a dense urban area. The advice: just lock your bike properly.
The neighbourhood is well served by metro and tram, though night services are limited. The nearest train station is 2.1 km away, so for long-distance travel you'd need a tram or bike to reach it. There is one bus that runs early morning to Schiphol, which some residents find noisy.
Yes, the Sarphatipark is just around the corner (300 m), and the neighbourhood is described as nicely green with parks and trees. The park is a major draw for residents, offering a place to relax, exercise, or walk the dog.
The neighbourhood has a high proportion of one-person households (1,580 out of 2,555 households) and a young population: 50% are aged 25-45. It's popular with professionals and couples who value the central location, cultural amenities, and lively atmosphere of De Pijp.
