House prices in Frederik Hendrikbuurt-Zuidoost, Amsterdam
The owner-occupied market in Frederik Hendrikbuurt-Zuidoost is compact but certainly not cheap. Of the 2,069 homes in the neighbourhood, only 28% are owner-occupied, while 72% are rented out. This limited owner-occupancy rate creates scarcity and pushes prices up. Over the past twelve months, 67 homes changed hands, at an average sale price of €572,881. The range runs from €350,000 to €1,195,000, indicating that both compact apartments and larger homes can be found in the neighbourhood. With an average sold area of 62 m², this works out at a price of over €9,200 per square metre, a hefty sum. The WOZ value stands at €479,000, which is lower than the district average for the Frederik Hendrikbuurt (€509,000) and also below the Amsterdam average of €517,000. This difference is partly explained by the smaller homes and the high concentration of housing associations and tenants in this part of the neighbourhood. The supply consists mainly of apartments in pre-war buildings. For current asking prices and availability, please refer to the property overview at the top of this page.
Living in Frederik Hendrikbuurt-Zuidoost, Amsterdam
Frederik Hendrikbuurt-Zuidoost is located in the western part of Amsterdam's city centre, wedged between the Nassaukade, the Bilderdijkstraat and the area around Surinameplein. It is a densely built, urban neighbourhood with mainly pre-war closed building blocks from the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The streets are narrow, the facades high and the homes predominantly compact. If you are looking for space, do not expect to find it indoors here: an average sold apartment is 62 m², and you notice that.
The atmosphere in the neighbourhood is distinctly urban and mixed. With 3,200 residents and a dominant group of 25 to 45-year-olds (over half of all residents), this is a neighbourhood of young city dwellers, many living alone. Families exist, but they are a minority. You see that on the streets too: lots of cyclists, few prams, and a vibrant but sometimes messy street scene. The average income of €48,500 is slightly higher than the Amsterdam average, and 60% of residents have a high level of education.
In terms of amenities, the neighbourhood scores well. The Kinkerstraat and Jan Pieter Heijestraat are within walking distance and offer a wide range of supermarkets, specialist shops, eateries and small stores. Surinameplein serves as a local hub. For green spaces, you can go to the Vondelpark, a short bike ride away, or the smaller Bellamypark nearby. Schools are available in the immediate vicinity, which explains the resident score for education of 8.0 out of ten.
Accessibility is one of the neighbourhood's strongest points, with a score of 8.5. Tram line 17 runs along the Bilderdijkstraat towards the city centre and Sloterdijk. Bus connections via the Nassaukade and Surinameplein also make other parts of the city easily accessible. By bike, you can reach Dam Square in ten minutes. By car, the A10 Ring Road is quickly accessible via the Kostverlorenvaart, although parking in the neighbourhood is a daily puzzle.
The resident score stands at 6.9 out of ten, based on two reviews. Residents appreciate the accessibility and amenities, but are more critical of housing (3.5) and safety (6.0). Bijan Onck describes it honestly: "Lots of crazies, but also many nice people who just haven't been so lucky in life. Occasionally strange people on the street, especially at night, no burglaries though. Small homes for a hefty price unfortunately." Another resident, Kim, indicates that in her street relatively many people with problems are placed in the small social housing units, which puts pressure on liveability. Both accounts are honest and recognisable to those who know the neighbourhood. Read all reviews and neighbourhood data on the page for Frederik Hendrikbuurt-Zuidoost.
Compared to Frederik Hendrikbuurt-Noord and Frederik Hendrikbuurt-Zuidwest, this southeastern part has a slightly rougher character, with a higher concentration of social housing and a more mixed resident profile.

Who is a home in Frederik Hendrikbuurt-Zuidoost interesting for?
Living in Frederik Hendrikbuurt-Zuidoost mainly appeals to young singles and couples who want to live fully in the city without being far from the centre. The combination of good accessibility, urban amenities and a slightly lower WOZ value than surrounding neighbourhoods makes it relatively accessible for first-time buyers, although buying an apartment in Frederik Hendrikbuurt-Zuidoost at an average price of over €572,000 remains a serious investment. Families looking for space and tranquillity will be less likely to find their place here. Be prepared for overbidding in popular streets and a limited supply of owner-occupied homes. If you are unsure whether buying is the right move now, you can also look at rental homes in Frederik Hendrikbuurt-Zuidoost as an interim solution.

I regret that only junkies and alcoholics are placed in these small houses; as a non-addict, I have to stand up for myself in an unpleasant way. I would be happy if I could move.
