Kuipersstraat 166-3
Van der Helstpleinbuurt, Amsterdam
AreaA studio in the heart of the Pijp
This studio on Kuipersstraat sits in the lively Van der Helstpleinbuurt, a corner of Amsterdam where the streets are always busy and the atmosphere is unmistakably urban. At 38 m² it is compact, but the high ceilings and classic 1912 proportions give it a sense of space that newer builds often lack. The energy label is C, which is a middling score, so heating costs will sit somewhere in the middle of the range. At €2,350 per month, the rent is about 20% below the neighbourhood average of €2,946, which makes it a keen option when you look at studios in Amsterdam.
Van der Helstpleinbuurt
One resident describes it as the "Best neighbourhood", praising how easily accessible it is by metro and tram, though noting that night-time transport is thinner on the ground. They mention the greenery, with parks and trees throughout, and the wealth of amenities, from shops and bakeries to butchers and eateries. Safety comes up too, with the resident noting occasional minor burglaries targeting shops, but nothing more serious in years. The same review is blunt about the cost of living here, calling the houses "WAY TOO EXPENSIVE" and describing renting as a nightmare outside social housing. Based on one review, this is a neighbourhood that people love for its convenience and character, even if they grumble about the price. The area is dominated by single-person households, with a large share of residents in their twenties and thirties, giving the Van der Helstpleinbuurt neighbourhood a youthful, energetic feel.

Frequently asked questions
About Kuipersstraat 166-3, Amsterdam
Is €2,350 a fair price for this studio?
The rent sits about 20% below the neighbourhood average of €2,946, though the floor area of 38 m² is also smaller than the average of 57 m². Homes in this area typically rent within 17 days, which suggests steady demand. Compared with what else is available in the Van der Helstpleinbuurt, this price is on the keen side.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The energy label is C, which is an official registration recorded in the national EP-Online database. A C label is a middle-of-the-road score, so you can expect moderate energy costs rather than the very low bills of an A-rated home or the high costs of a G-rated one.
How far is the nearest supermarket?
The closest Albert Heijn is 245 metres away, just around the corner. A Lidl and another Albert Heijn are both around 550 to 580 metres, and a Jumbo is at 581 metres, so daily grocery shopping is a short walk in any direction.
What schools are nearby?
The 3e Daltonschool Alberdingk Thijm is 95 metres away, and the 9e Montessorischool De Scholekster is 276 metres. For secondary education, the Berlage Lyceum is 447 metres and the Montessori Lyceum Amsterdam is 449 metres, so both primary and secondary options are within a short walk.
How is the neighbourhood for safety and daily life?
One resident review describes the area as very safe, with occasional minor burglaries that target shops rather than homes. The same review highlights the greenery, the many amenities including shops, bakeries and eateries, and the easy access by metro and tram. The main complaint is the cost of housing in the area.
How long do rentals typically stay on the market here?
Homes in the Van der Helstpleinbuurt are rented out on average within 17 days. That is a fairly quick turnaround, reflecting the steady demand for housing in this part of Amsterdam. With 16 rentals currently available in the neighbourhood, there is some choice, but the market moves at a brisk pace.
