Hemonybuurt, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodThis 75 m² apartment on the Tweede Jan Steenstraat sits in the lively Hemonybuurt, part of the Oude Pijp.

At €640,000, the asking price is 34% below the neighbourhood average of €969,500, which makes it a keen entry point for the area. For context, apartments in Amsterdam vary widely, but this one stands out for its combination of age and efficiency.
The Hemonybuurt is a dense, inner-city neighbourhood with 2,650 residents packed into just a few streets. Most households are single-person (1,030 out of 1,650), and the average household size is 1.6, typical for a student-and-young-professional area. The streets are lively, with restaurants just around the corner and a park a couple of streets away. There are no resident reviews available for this neighbourhood, so the picture comes from the data: a young, transient population living in mostly pre-war housing. The neighbourhood Hemonybuurt is one of Amsterdam's most central pockets.
For your morning bread, a Lidl is on your doorstep, and an Albert Heijn is just around the corner. There are several primary schools within a five-minute walk, including the 4e Montessorischoolschool de Pinksterbloem and ASVO. Secondary education is also close by, with IVKO - Leren van Kunst a couple of streets away. The municipality Amsterdam offers all the urban amenities you'd expect, from museums to markets, all within easy reach.
