Have lived here quite a long time. Too long. It's getting busier and busier with tourists. Houses are in poor condition, lots of damp and mould, and very small and noisy. Many people with kids are moving elsewhere. Lots of rubbish in the streets and a lot of nuisance from pubs and restaurants. Noise from passers-by and tourists, especially in summer.

About Saenredamstraat 67-4, Amsterdam
The asking price is 55% below the neighbourhood average of €768,250, but that average is based on much larger homes (average 79 m²). At 30 m², this studio is 62% smaller than the typical home in the Frans Halsbuurt. Given its size and energy label G, the price is in line with what you'd expect for a compact studio in this sought-after area.
The energy label is G, the lowest rating. This means the home has poor insulation and high heating costs are to be expected. In the Frans Halsbuurt, 31.3% of homes have label A, 6.3% label B, 43.8% label C, and 18.8% label D or lower. So this studio is among the least energy-efficient in the neighbourhood.
One resident describes it as a "busy neighbourhood with many tourists" and mentions "noise from passers-by and tourists, especially in summer" as well as "nuisance from pubs and restaurants." The area has a very high address density (9,988 per km²), so street noise is part of daily life here.
The nearest train station is 2.8 km away, so it's not within walking distance. However, the neighbourhood is very well served by trams and buses, given its central location in Amsterdam.
Yes, several supermarkets are within a few minutes' walk: Dirk at 186 m, Coop at 200 m, and Jumbo at 209 m. Albert Heijn is a bit further at 471 m. So daily shopping is very convenient.
Primary school Basisschool Oscar Carré is 303 m away. For secondary education, Montessori Lyceum Amsterdam (main location) is 358 m, and another location on Van Ostadestraat is 466 m. Several other secondary schools are within a 10-minute walk.
There are 16 homes for sale in the Frans Halsbuurt, with prices ranging from €325,000 to €1,450,000. The average price per m² is €10,103, so this studio at €11,500 per m² is slightly above that average, but still competitive given its location.
