Gerard Doustraat 6-2

A studio in the heart of the Oude Pijp

This studio on Gerard Doustraat sits in one of Amsterdam's liveliest neighbourhoods. The listing does not state an energy label. As a result, the rest of this page is mainly about the street and the neighbourhood, not the home itself. At €425,000, the asking price is 30% below the neighbourhood average of €603,464, though the floor area (44 m²) is 29% smaller than the local average of 62 m². Compared to other studios in Amsterdam, this is a keenly priced entry into the market.

The Hercules Seghersbuurt neighbourhood

The Hercules Seghersbuurt neighbourhood is a dense, urban pocket of the Oude Pijp with a very high address density of over 10,000 per km². Most homes were built before 1945 (93.5%), and the area is dominated by flats and apartments. The population is young and mobile: nearly half of residents are between 25 and 45, and a large share live alone. No resident reviews are available for this neighbourhood, but the figures paint a picture of a lively, central area with a mix of students, young professionals and long-term locals.

Life on the street

Daily errands are easy: a Coop supermarket is just around the corner, and a Jumbo is a couple of streets away. For fresh produce, the Albert Heijn on Ferdinand Bolstraat is a ten-minute walk. Several schools are within walking distance, including the Montessori Lyceum Amsterdam (a couple of streets away) and Basisschool Oscar Carré (a five-minute walk). The area is part of the municipality of Amsterdam, which means excellent access to parks, restaurants and cultural venues, the nearest park is a five-minute walk, and restaurants are on your doorstep.
