WG-terrein, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodThis studio on the Eerste Helmersstraat is a compact city base in the lively Helmersbuurt.

The asking price of €369,000 is the cheapest of the 15 homes currently for sale in the neighbourhood and sits 59% below the average asking price of €898,800, a keen entry point into Amsterdam's owner-occupied market. For more context, see other studios in Amsterdam.
The WG-terrein neighbourhood scores a 6.9 out of 10 from two reviews. One resident calls it "too busy": "Nice people but dirty place and stench of exhaust gases, very busy and noisy." Another finds it "fine": "My experience in the neighbourhood as a 21-year-old student is limited because I don't need to be there much; I would like to be more in touch with the neighbourhood, but that might be down to me, I don't know how. School and the facilities are pleasant and I feel at ease when I walk around." The area is densely populated with many single-person households, and the streets are bustling, typical for a very strongly urban part of Amsterdam. Read more about the neighbourhood WG-terrein.
For groceries, an Albert Heijn is just around the corner, and a Jumbo is a couple of streets away. The nearest primary school, Kindcentrum De Kinkerbuurt, is a five-minute walk, while Huygens College for secondary education is also within walking distance. A park or public garden is a five-minute walk away, and a restaurant is on your doorstep. The municipality Amsterdam offers all the cultural and urban amenities you'd expect from the capital.
At the time of writing the home is listed via Ramon Mossel Makelaardij and also appears on Funda, so it's available through several channels.

About Eerste Helmersstraat 147-3V, Amsterdam
At €369,000, this studio is the cheapest of the 15 homes currently for sale in WG-terrein and sits 59% below the neighbourhood's average asking price of €898,800. However, the floor area of 35 m² is 58% smaller than the neighbourhood average of 83 m², so the price per square metre is actually higher than average. Whether it's fair depends on how much you value a compact, centrally located home.
WG-terrein is a very densely populated urban area with a mix of students and older residents. Reviews are mixed: one resident finds it too busy and noisy with exhaust fumes, while another appreciates the facilities and feels at ease.

The nearest train station is 3 km away, which is about a 10-minute cycle or a short bus ride.
The energy label is C, which is average for a home of this age. It means the home is reasonably energy-efficient but not as efficient as modern builds. You can expect moderate heating costs, though exact amounts depend on usage.
