Eerste Helmersstraat 147-2A

The asking price of €295,000 is 67% below the average asking price in the WG-terrein (€898,800) and also below the minimum asking price of €369,000 in the neighbourhood. However, this studio is much smaller than average (29 m² vs 83 m²). Given the compact size and missing energy label, the price is keen but reflects the small floor area.

The WG-terrein is a very densely populated urban area (address density over 10,000 per km²). It has a young population, with many one-person households. Resident reviews are mixed: one finds it too busy and dirty, another finds it fine with good facilities. The area has a high crime rate (250 total crimes), so it's a lively, sometimes gritty part of Amsterdam.

The nearest supermarket is an Albert Heijn at 351 metres, just around the corner. A Jumbo is at 400 metres, and another Albert Heijn at 414 metres. A Lidl is a five-minute walk away at 505 metres. Daily groceries are very convenient.

Huygens College (secondary education) is 387 metres away, a five-minute walk. Kindcentrum De Kinkerbuurt (primary) is 434 metres away. Several other primary schools are within a ten-minute walk, including Basisschool Het Winterkoninkje and Brede School Annie M.G. Schmidt.

The distance to the nearest train station is 3 km. That is about a 35-minute walk or a short bike ride. Public transport connections within the city are good, but for intercity trains you would need to travel to Amsterdam Centraal or Amsterdam Zuid.

The agent has not provided this information. As a result, the energy efficiency and expected heating costs are unknown. This is a detail you would need to clarify with the seller.

This is a studio with a floor area of 29 m², built in 1887. It is a compact, single-room apartment typical of the area. The exact layout is not described, but studios usually combine living, sleeping and kitchen in one space.
