Van der Hoopstraat 79H
Fannius Scholtenbuurt · 1051 VC Amsterdam
A classic Amsterdam apartment on Van der Hoopstraat
This apartment sits on a lively street in the Staatsliedenbuurt, with the original 1905 architecture still very much intact. At 45 m² it's compact, but the energy label C means it's reasonably efficient for a home of this age. The last known asking price of €585,000 was on the high side compared to the neighbourhood average of €513,393, though it was in line with the €9,700 per m² that similar apartments here tend to fetch. For context, apartments in Amsterdam vary widely, but this one was priced at a premium. This home has not been online since 2 September 2026.
The Fannius Scholtenbuurt neighbourhood
The Fannius Scholtenbuurt was a diverse, old working-class area that was become popular with a mix of long-term social housing tenants and newer owner-occupiers. One resident describes it as a "pleasant neighbourhood to live in," noting the quiet streets and beautiful early-20th-century buildings. Another appreciates the diversity but finds the shop selection poor and public transport worse since tram line 3 was cancelled. A third review is less flattering, complaining about noise and cultural tensions. Based on five reviews, the neighbourhood scores a 6.36 out of 10. It's a very urban area with a high address density of 9,196 per km², and most homes are pre-war. For more on the area, see the Fannius Scholtenbuurt neighbourhood.
