Sarphatiparkbuurt, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodThis 79 m² apartment on the Tweede Jan van der Heijdenstraat sits in the lively Sarphatiparkbuurt, right in the heart of the Oude Pijp. The 1887 building gives it that authentic Amsterdam feel, with high ceilings and period details. At €995,000, the asking price is 39% above the neighbourhood average of €715,150, so it's on the high side, but then you're paying for a prime spot in one of the city's most beloved areas. For context, apartments in Amsterdam vary widely, and this one is clearly positioned at the upper end.
The Sarphatiparkbuurt is a tight-knit, urban enclave where residents tend to stay put. One resident, who has lived here for fifty years, calls it a 'Lovely neighbourhood', and that's based on just one review, but it speaks volumes. The area is densely populated (over 11,000 addresses per km²) and dominated by young adults aged 25-45, with many single-person households. It's a place where you know your neighbours and the local shopkeepers. For more on the area, check out the neighbourhood Sarphatiparkbuurt.
Your morning bread run is a couple of streets away to Albert Heijn or Lidl, both just around the corner. For a bigger shop, Jumbo is a five-minute walk. The neighbourhood is dotted with schools: the 3e Daltonschool Alberdingk Thijm is a couple of streets away, and the IVKO secondary school is also within a five-minute walk. The Sarphatipark itself is on your doorstep, perfect for a Sunday stroll. The municipality Amsterdam keeps the city buzzing, but here in the Pijp you've got a village-like feel.
At the time of writing, the home is listed through several channels, including Keij & Stefels B.V. and Funda. The agent has provided full details on the property, so you can get a clear picture from the listing.

About Tweede Jan van der Heijdenstraat 30H, Amsterdam
The asking price is 39% above the average asking price in the Sarphatiparkbuurt, which is €715,150. However, this apartment is larger than the neighbourhood average (79 m² vs 66 m²) and sits in a sought-after part of the Oude Pijp. Recent sold properties in the area went for an average of €505,065, but those include smaller units. Given the size and location, the price is on the high side but reflects the premium for this specific home.
The apartment has energy label C. That means it's reasonably efficient, not the best, but far from the worst. In the neighbourhood, 36.2% of homes have label C, while 21.3% have A and 14.9% have D or lower. With a 1887 building, label C is actually quite good, suggesting some modernisation has been done. You can expect moderate energy costs, but nothing extreme.
The nearest train station is 2.5 km away. That's about a 30-minute walk or a short bike ride. For daily commuting, you'll likely rely on trams and metros, which are plentiful in the area. The station distance is manageable but not on your doorstep.
The Sarphatiparkbuurt had 542 total crimes recorded, which for a dense urban area with over 5,000 residents is moderate. It's a busy part of Amsterdam, so you'll find the usual city noise and activity, but residents generally feel safe. The one review we have describes it as a 'Lovely neighbourhood', which suggests a positive experience.
Yes, the Sarphatipark is just 0.2 km away, literally on your doorstep. It's a classic Amsterdam city park with lawns, ponds, and playgrounds. Perfect for a morning jog or an evening stroll. The neighbourhood is otherwise quite built-up, but that park is a real asset.
There are 50 homes for sale in the Sarphatiparkbuurt at the moment. That's a decent number, but given the popularity of the area, good properties don't stay on the market long. The average time to sell recently was 31 days, which is fairly quick. So if this apartment appeals, it's worth acting promptly.
