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 Stadhouderskade 49H, Amsterdam
The asking price is 43% above the neighbourhood average of €768,250, but the apartment is also 53% larger than the typical 79 m² in the Frans Halsbuurt. The average price per m² in the area is €10,103, so for 121 m² that would come to roughly €1,222,000, meaning this apartment is priced below that benchmark. Whether it is fair depends on how you value the extra space versus the busy, tourist-heavy location.
The energy label is C, which is average for a pre-war apartment. In the neighbourhood, 43.8% of homes have label C, and 31.3% have label A. Label C means moderate energy efficiency; heating costs will be noticeable but not extreme. The home was built in 1880, so original features like high ceilings are likely, but insulation may be limited.
The Frans Halsbuurt has relatively few families with children (220 out of 1,780 households). One long-term resident notes that many families are moving elsewhere due to noise, rubbish, and tourist crowds. Schools are nearby, IKC De Kleine Reus primary school is a five-minute walk away, but the area is more popular with singles and couples.
The nearest train station is 2.8 km away, so for national rail connections you would need a tram or bus. However, the neighbourhood is very central and well served by trams and buses. The high address density (9,988 per km²) means many amenities are within walking distance.
