About Tweede Hugo de Grootstraat 70-1, Amsterdam
The rent of €2,650 is on the high side for a 57 m² apartment in this neighbourhood, but the energy label B keeps utility costs lower than older homes. The location in a quiet, well-connected part of Amsterdam adds value. Without comparable listings in the immediate area, it's best to judge based on your own budget and how much the location matters to you.
The energy label is B, which is good for a 1933 building. This means the home is reasonably well-insulated and you won't face excessively high heating bills. It's a solid middle-of-the-range label, not as efficient as a modern A++++ home, but far better than the many G-label properties in the city.
Albert Heijn is just 166 metres away, so you can pop out for milk in under two minutes. Dirk is 315 metres away, and there are several other supermarkets within a ten-minute walk. You'll never be far from fresh produce or daily essentials.
There are two primary schools within a five-minute walk: Basisschool Dr. Rijk Kramer (272 m) and Daltonschool De Waterkant (407 m). For secondary education, Marcanti College (314 m) and Het Cartesius Lyceum (528 m) are both close. The area is well-served for families with school-age children.
The nearest train station is 3.1 km away, which is about a ten-minute cycle or a short bus ride. It's not within walking distance for a daily commute, but the tram and bus network in Amsterdam is extensive, so you can easily reach other parts of the city without a car.
With 74 reported crimes in the area, the Frederik Hendrikbuurt-Zuidwest is relatively safe for Amsterdam. The neighbourhood has a calm, residential character and is popular with older residents. As with any city, it's always wise to be aware of your surroundings, but this is not a high-crime area.
