AI summary

A studio in the heart of Amsterdam

This studio on President Brandstraat sits in the lively Transvaalbuurt-West, a neighbourhood with a strong city pulse. At 43 m² it's compact, and with an energy label C it's reasonably efficient. The asking price of €385,000 is 26% below the neighbourhood average of €519,586, making it a keen entry point into Amsterdam's owner-occupied market. For context, studios in Amsterdam vary widely in price and size.

Transvaalbuurt-West: a mixed bag

The neighbourhood Transvaalbuurt-West is densely urban with over 8,300 addresses per km². It's a young area: most residents are between 25 and 45, and many live alone. Based on three reviews, opinions are split. One resident says: "A wonderful neighbourhood to live in, I have lived here for 79 years and still enjoy it." Another is less positive: "People are not okay, they talk too much about you with lies, attack you without reason." So it's a place with character, but not for everyone.

Daily life on President Brandstraat

For your morning bread, an Albert Heijn is just around the corner, and another is a couple of streets away. Primary schools are on your doorstep: IBS De Vijgenboom and Integraal Kindcentrum De Kaap are both within a five-minute walk. For secondary education, Cygnus Gymnasium is also a short stroll. The municipality Amsterdam offers all the cultural and transport links you'd expect from the capital.

Not a great neighbourhood

People are not okay, they talk too much about you with lies, attack you without reason and believe what other people say about you without asking what your story is.

A wonderful neighbourhood to live in

I have lived in the Transvaalbuurt for 79 years. Over those years I have seen many changes, but I still live there with great pleasure! And I will continue to do so until the very end! Transvaal is my life!

Frequently asked questions

About President Brandstraat 174, Amsterdam

Is €385,000 a fair price for this studio?

The asking price is 26% below the average asking price in the neighbourhood (€519,586), but the studio is also 25% smaller than the average home there (57 m²). Given the compact size and central location, the price is in line with what you'd expect for a studio in this part of Amsterdam.

What is the energy label and what does it mean?

The energy label is C, which is average for a home of this age (built in 1985). You can expect moderate energy costs, not as low as a modern A-label, but far from the high bills of a G-label. In the neighbourhood, 36.7% of homes have label C, and another 36.7% have D or lower.

The nearest train station is 1.0 km away, about a ten-minute walk. That's convenient for commuting to other parts of Amsterdam or further afield.

Yes, several. An Albert Heijn is just 255 metres away, another at 427 metres, and a Vomar and Lidl are within 600,650 metres. Daily shopping is very easy on foot.
