Hugo de Grootkade 14-3
Frederik Hendrikbuurt-Zuidoost, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodA studio in the heart of Amsterdam
This studio on Hugo de Grootkade sits in a lively part of Amsterdam, where the streets are always busy and the city hums around you. At 44 m² it's compact, but the high ceilings and large windows typical of a 1899 building give it a light, airy feel. The price of €745,000 is 36% above the neighbourhood average asking price of €545,914, so it's on the high side, partly because studios in Amsterdam are scarce and this one has a B energy label. For context, you can compare it with other studios in Amsterdam.
Frederik Hendrikbuurt-Zuidoost
The neighbourhood is a mixed bag, according to the two reviews available. One resident says: '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.' Another adds: 'Occasionally strange people on the street, especially at night, no burglaries though. Small houses for a hefty price unfortunately.' So while the area has its challenges, it also has many kind people. The neighbourhood has 3,200 residents, mostly single-person households, and a very high address density of 12,144 per km², typical for central Amsterdam.

Frequently asked questions
About Hugo de Grootkade 14-3, Amsterdam
Is €745,000 a fair price for a 44 m² studio in this neighbourhood?
The asking price of €745,000 is 36% above the neighbourhood average of €545,914. The average price per m² in the area is €9,538, so this studio works out at about €16,932 per m², well above that. However, studios in Amsterdam are rare, and the property has a B energy label, which may justify some of the premium. Whether it's fair depends on how much you value the location and size.
What is the energy label B worth for this studio?
Energy label B is quite efficient, meaning your heating and electricity costs should be moderate compared to older, less efficient homes. The label is an official registration from EP-Online, so it reflects the building's energy performance as a whole. In the neighbourhood, 28.6% of homes have label A, 14.3% have B, and 39.3% have D or lower, so this studio is above average in efficiency.
How safe is the Frederik Hendrikbuurt-Zuidoost?
The neighbourhood has 304 total crimes reported, but the reviews mention no burglaries. One resident notes 'occasionally strange people on the street, especially at night', while another feels they have to stand up for themselves due to the presence of addicts. It's a mixed area: some find it challenging, others appreciate the kind people. Your experience may vary depending on your tolerance for street life.
What public transport is nearby?
The nearest train station is 2.9 km away, which is about a 35-minute walk or a short tram ride. Given the central location, most of Amsterdam is easily reachable by bike or on foot.
Are there parks or green spaces close by?
The nearest park or public garden is 0.6 km away, about a seven-minute walk. That's the Vondelpark, one of Amsterdam's largest and most popular parks, perfect for a run, a picnic, or just escaping the city noise. There are also smaller green spots in the neighbourhood.
What is the neighbourhood like for families?
Only 225 out of 3,200 residents are children under 15, and just 225 households have kids. The average household size is 1.5, so it's mostly singles and couples. There are primary schools within walking distance, but the area's street scene and high density may not suit everyone with young children.

Experiences from Amsterdam
How residents experience their municipality
Een hele fijne, rustige buurt met veel groen en geweldige bomen die verkoeling en ontspanning bieden. 's nachts is het er stil en donker. Dat vind ik belangrijk voor de dieren. De buurt is goed bereikbaar met metro 54 en voorzieningen zijn op loopafstand in winkelcentrum de Poort. 1 ding is een ongelofelijke doorn in het oog en dat is de hygiene. Het is dagelijks een puinzoo bij de vuilcontainers. Zwerfafval waait overal naar toe. En hoewel we met een aantal bewoners dagelijks 'prikken' en opruimen is het een never ending story. Ik zou zo graag zien dat daar een oplossing voor komt.

Auto-translated to English by AII lived here for about 12 years. The neighbourhood has clear advantages: good connections by tram, bus and ferry/boat, plenty of supermarkets, gyms and practical amenities nearby. For me, however, there was one major drawback: structural low-frequency noise, demonstrably coming from commercial shipping on the Amsterdam-Rijnkanaal. If you are sensitive to that, it can be very burdensome. In my case, it was clearly noticeable indoors, especially at night. Neighbours said they slept with earplugs and extra insulation offered limited to no solution. The municipality took measurements at the time and acknowledged that the noise was significant, but indicated they could do little or nothing about it because the source fell outside their direct authority. My honest advice: visit this neighbourhood not only during the day, but also in the evening and at night, and pay specific attention to low-frequency humming or vibrations. For people sensitive to noise, I would personally strongly advise against this location.

Auto-translated to English by AINice, quiet and reasonably cosy neighbourhood. Good accessibility, the Amsterdam Forest nearby. Lots of different facilities within walking distance. Nice to live here with a family and pets! Quite a few schools within cycling distance. Hygiene in the neighbourhood is above the average level in Amsterdam. VUmc very close by.
Auto-translated to English by AIAt the end of the Silodam lies the striking MVRDV building. Surrounded by water on all sides. Every apartment has a view of the IJ and/or the Oude Houthaven. The views are therefore phenomenal and every day is different due to the weather. The sunrises and sunsets are unbeatable. Because the building is at the end of the Silodam, there is no through traffic and every person is either a resident or a visitor. This makes it, by Amsterdam standards, an exceptionally safe living environment. There is little turnover. The residents of this building form a close-knit community. A nice mix of families with and without children and single people who help each other where needed. And that too is a special quality in an increasingly transient Amsterdam. Within walking distance are the Haarlemmerdijk and the markets where you can find all the hustle and bustle if you feel like it. On the Silodam there is peace and quiet, a delight for body and mind. The wind, the seagulls, the waves on the IJ, the boats, occasionally a cruise ship, and every 5 years Sail! A little paradise in Amsterdam? Absolutely!
Auto-translated to English by AIBecause we are on the outskirts, there is no through traffic. In the middle of the street a large playground with a table tennis table and a small football pitch. And playground equipment. Behind our house only meadows.
