This is a dense, urban area with a high address density of over 12,000 per km². Most homes are apartments, and about 28% are owner-occupied. The neighbourhood has a mixed character: based on two reviews, one resident notes that "only junkies and alcoholics are placed in these small houses" and feels unsafe, while another says there are "lots of crazies, but also many kind people who just haven't been so lucky in life" and that burglaries are not an issue. It's a place with contrasts, typical of a central city district. For more context, see the Frederik Hendrikbuurt-Zuidoost neighbourhood.
Daily errands are easy: a Dirk supermarket is on your doorstep, and an Albert Heijn is just around the corner. For school runs, Basisschool Dr. Rijk Kramer is a couple of streets away, and secondary school Het Cartesius Lyceum is a five-minute walk. The neighbourhood falls under the municipality of Amsterdam, which means all the city's amenities are within reach.

I regret that only junkies and alcoholics are placed in these small houses; as a non-addict, I have to stand up for myself in an unpleasant way. I would be happy if I could move.
Auto-translated to English by AIOccasionally strange people on the street, especially at night, no burglaries though. Small houses for a hefty price unfortunately

About Tweede Hugo de Grootstraat 16-3, Amsterdam
The asking price of €447,500 is about 20% below the neighbourhood average of €558,859 and also below the median of €549,000. Given that similar homes in the area sell for an average of €570,684, this price is on the keen side. However, the apartment is 53 m², which is slightly smaller than the neighbourhood average of 59 m², so the price per m² is roughly in line with the market.
The home has energy label B, which is efficient. In the neighbourhood, 29% of homes have label A and 16.1% have label B, so this is above average. You can expect relatively low energy costs compared to older, uninsulated homes.
The nearest train station is 2.9 km away, which is about a 35-minute walk or a short bike ride. Public transport within the neighbourhood is good, with trams and buses nearby.
Based on two reviews, opinions vary. One resident mentions issues with addiction and feeling unsafe, while another notes that despite some 'crazies', there are kind people and no burglaries. The area has a high proportion of single-person households (1,385 out of 2,060 households) and many residents aged 25-45.
