Hemonybuurt, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on the Tweede Jan Steenstraat sits in the heart of the Oude Pijp, where the city hums outside your window. At 63 m² it's compact but well laid out, with an energy label B, efficient for a 1889 building. The asking price of €650,000 is keen compared to the neighbourhood average of €969,500, partly because the floor area is smaller than the typical 84 m² in the area. For context, apartments in Amsterdam vary widely, but this one is priced to move.
The Hemonybuurt is a dense, urban pocket of the Oude Pijp, with over 11,000 addresses per km², very much city living. Most homes are pre-war (92% built before 1945), and the area is popular with young professionals and couples; single-person households make up the majority. There are no resident reviews available for this neighbourhood, so the picture comes from the data: a lively, central spot with a mix of nationalities and a strong café culture. The Hemonybuurt neighbourhood is known for its market square and proximity to the Albert Cuypmarkt.
Your morning routine could start at Lidl just around the corner, or Albert Heijn a couple of streets away. For school runs, primary options include 3e Daltonschool Alberdingk Thijm and 4e Montessorischool de Pinksterbloem, while secondary school IVKO - Leren van Kunst is a five-minute walk. The neighbourhood is part of the municipality of Amsterdam, which means all the city's amenities, museums, parks, restaurants, are on your doorstep.

About Tweede Jan Steenstraat 60-1, Amsterdam
The asking price of €650,000 is 33% below the average asking price in the Hemonybuurt (€969,500), but the apartment is also smaller than average (63 m² vs 84 m²). The price per m² works out to about €10,317, which is below the neighbourhood average of €11,620 per m². So it's priced keenly for a quick sale, especially given the good energy label B.
