A studio in the Frederik Hendrikbuurt
This studio on the Tweede Hugo de Grootstraat sits in the Frederik Hendrikbuurt-Zuidoost, a lively pocket of Amsterdam. This listing did not state an energy label, so the rest of this page was mainly about the street and the neighbourhood, not the home itself. At €1,900 for 42 m², the rent was on the high side compared with the neighbourhood average of €2,750 for 65 m², though that average was based on a single listing. For context, studios in Amsterdam give a sense of what this property type typically commands across the city. This home has not been online since 11 November 2026.
The Frederik Hendrikbuurt-Zuidoost
The Frederik Hendrikbuurt-Zuidoost neighbourhood is densely urban, with an address density of over 12,000 per km² and a very strong urban character. Half the residents are between 25 and 45, and two-thirds of households are single people, so the area has a young, transient feel. Based on two reviews, 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." Another notes: "Occasionally strange people on the street, especially at night, no burglaries though. Small houses for a hefty price unfortunately." The reviews paint a mixed picture of the street life.

For daily shopping, a Dirk is on your doorstep, with an Albert Heijn just around the corner.

About Tweede Hugo de Grootstraat 17H, Amsterdam
Was €1,900 a fair rent for this studio?
At €1,900 for 42 m², the rent worked out to about €45 per m². The neighbourhood average for rentals was €2,750 for 65 m², which was €42.31 per m², so this studio was priced slightly above that per-square-metre figure. The average was based on just one other listing, so it was a limited comparison, but the price did sit on the higher side for the area.
How quickly do rentals go in this neighbourhood?
Homes in this neighbourhood are rented out in an average of 12 days, according to local market data. That suggested a fairly active rental market, though the figure was an average and individual homes could take longer or shorter depending on price and condition. The current listing was one of a limited number available in the area.
What is the neighbourhood like for daily life?
The Frederik Hendrikbuurt-Zuidoost is very densely populated, with a strong urban character. A Dirk supermarket is just 49 metres away and an Albert Heijn is 116 metres, so groceries are very close. The nearest primary school is 23 metres away, and a park is about 600 metres from the home. The area has a young demographic, with half of residents aged 25 to 45.
What do residents say about living here?
Based on two reviews, residents have mixed feelings. One 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." Another notes: "Occasionally strange people on the street, especially at night, no burglaries though. Small houses for a hefty price unfortunately." The reviews reflect concerns about street life but no reported burglaries.
