Hemonybuurt, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodThis is a home with presence. On the Stadhouderskade, one of Amsterdam's classic 19th-century boulevards, you get high ceilings, large windows and a sense of space that 117 m² delivers generously. The building dates from 1881, so the bones are solid and the proportions generous. At €2,700,000 it is the most expensive of the 20 apartments currently for sale in the Hemonybuurt, and 178% above the neighbourhood average asking price of €969,500, a reflection of its size and location rather than a market outlier. For context, apartments in Amsterdam at this level are rare.
The Hemonybuurt is a small residential enclave within the Oude Pijp, tucked between the Stadhouderskade and the Amstel. It is densely built and very urban, with over 11,000 addresses per km², you are firmly in the city. Yet the streets are relatively quiet, with a mix of families and singles. Most homes here were built before 1945 (92%), and the area has a settled, established feel. There are no resident reviews available for this neighbourhood, but the figures speak: a high proportion of one-person households (1,030 out of 1,650 households) and a young population, nearly half are between 25 and 45. The neighbourhood Hemonybuurt is a place where people live because they want to be in the middle of things.
Your morning bread run is a couple of streets away: the Lidl is just around the corner, and an Albert Heijn is a five-minute walk. For school runs, the ASVO primary school is a couple of streets away, and the 4e Montessorischool de Pinksterbloem is a ten-minute walk. Secondary education is also within easy reach, with IVKO, Leren van Kunst about ten minutes away. The municipality Amsterdam offers everything you would expect from a global city, but on a day-to-day basis you can do almost everything on foot or by bike.

About Stadhouderskade 149-1, Amsterdam
The asking price is 178% above the neighbourhood average of €969,500, but this is also the largest apartment currently for sale in the Hemonybuurt (117 m² versus an average of 84 m²). It is the most expensive of the 20 homes on the market, so you are paying for top-floor space and a prime address. Whether that feels fair depends on how much you value the extra square metres and the Stadhouderskade setting.
The home has energy label C. That is a middling score for a 19th-century building, not the most efficient, but far from the worst. In the neighbourhood, 52.4% of homes have label A, so this one is below the local average. You can expect reasonable heating costs, but do not expect the low bills of a modern, well-insulated apartment.
The nearest train station is 2.2 km away, which is a 25-minute walk or a short cycle. For trams and buses, you are well served: the Stadhouderskade itself has several tram lines, and the area is very walkable. The city centre is about 15 minutes on foot.
The Hemonybuurt has 235 households with children out of 1,650 total, so families are a minority. The area is dominated by singles and couples without children. There are several primary schools within walking distance, and the streets are relatively quiet for central Amsterdam, but it is not a classic family suburb, it is an urban neighbourhood where families do live, but do not dominate.
At 117 m², this apartment is 39% larger than the neighbourhood average of 84 m². That is a significant difference, especially in a district where most homes are pre-war and often compact. The extra space is reflected in the price, but it also means you get proper rooms rather than the squeezed layouts common in the Oude Pijp.
The neighbourhood recorded 226 total crimes in the latest data. That is a moderate number for a dense urban area, but it is worth noting that the Stadhouderskade is a busy thoroughfare, so street-level activity is higher than in a purely residential street. The area is generally considered safe, but as with any central Amsterdam location, you should be aware of bike theft and pickpocketing.
