Frans Halsbuurt, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodThis 98 m² apartment on Stadhouderskade sits in the lively Frans Halsbuurt, part of the Oude Pijp. The 1880 building has been brought up to an A energy label, so you get period charm without the draughts. At €845,000, the price is a touch above the neighbourhood average of €768,250, but the size and efficiency make it a fair proposition. For context, apartments in Amsterdam vary widely, and this one stands out for its combination of space and modern performance.
The Frans Halsbuurt is a dense, urban neighbourhood with over 9,900 addresses per km². It's a young area, nearly half the residents are between 25 and 45, and mostly single-person households. One resident who has lived here a long time says: "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." That's the flipside of living in one of Amsterdam's most vibrant quarters. The neighbourhood Frans Halsbuurt is undeniably central, but it comes with the bustle you'd expect.
For groceries, you have Dirk, Ekoplaza and Albert Heijn all within a couple of streets away, about a five-minute walk. For school runs, IKC De Kleine Reus (primary) is just around the corner, and secondary schools like Montessori Lyceum and Barlaeus Gymnasium are a ten-minute walk. The municipality Amsterdam offers everything you'd expect from a capital, but on a day-to-day basis, this stretch of the Pijp has you covered for bread, school and supplies without needing to go far.
At the time of writing, the home is listed through several channels, including hausing, Funda, Huispedia and Pararius. The agent is hausing.

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 67-2, Amsterdam
The asking price of €845,000 is about 10% above the neighbourhood average of €768,250 and slightly above the median of €760,000. However, this apartment is larger than average (98 m² vs 79 m²) and has an A energy label, which is rare in an area where 95% of homes were built before 1945. Given the size and efficiency, the price is in line with what you'd expect for a well-maintained period apartment.
Frans Halsbuurt is one of the most densely populated areas in Amsterdam, with a very strong urban character. It's a young area, nearly half the residents are between 25 and 45, and most households are single people. One long-term resident describes it as busy with tourists, noisy from pubs and restaurants, and with some issues like damp and rubbish. It's a lively, central location, but not for those seeking peace and quiet.
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 intercity trains you'd need to head to Amsterdam Centraal or Amsterdam Zuid.
There are several schools within walking distance. The closest primary school is IKC De Kleine Reus, about 350 m away. For secondary education, Montessori Lyceum Amsterdam and Barlaeus Gymnasium are both around 500 m, and Sweelinck College is about 630 m. All are within a ten-minute walk.
You have three supermarkets within a couple of streets: Dirk at 205 m, Ekoplaza at 206 m, and Albert Heijn at 219 m. Jumbo and Coop are a bit further, around 400-500 m. For daily shopping, you're well covered.
The apartment has an A energy label, which is excellent for a building from 1880. In the neighbourhood, only about 31% of homes have label A, and nearly 19% have label D or lower. So this home is significantly more efficient than most period properties in the area, meaning lower heating costs and a smaller environmental footprint.
The neighbourhood is described by a resident as noisy, with nuisance from passers-by, pubs and restaurants, especially in summer. The apartment is on Stadhouderskade, a main road, so some street noise is to be expected. However, the building's age and the A energy label may mean good insulation, but you'd need to experience it yourself.
