Fannius Scholtenbuurt, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodThis studio on Van Hogendorpstraat sits in a lively part of Amsterdam, where the city hums just outside your door. At 39 m² it's a compact home, but with an energy label B it's reasonably efficient for a building from 1899. The asking price of €385,000 is 25% below the neighbourhood average of €513,393, which makes it a keen entry point into the market, especially when you compare it to other studios in Amsterdam.
The neighbourhood Fannius Scholtenbuurt is a classic Amsterdam working-class neighbourhood that has become more diverse over time. One resident describes it as a "nice old working-class neighbourhood near the centre," noting the mix of owner-occupied apartments and social housing. Another says it's a "pleasant neighbourhood to live in," with beautiful buildings from around 1910 and good social cohesion. A third review is less positive, calling it "Little Middle East" and complaining about noise and conflicts, but that's one voice among five. The neighbourhood has a very high density (9,196 addresses per km²) and is mostly made up of small households, with many singles and few children.
For your morning bread, Albert Heijn is on your doorstep. A couple of streets away you'll find another Albert Heijn, an Ekoplaza, and a Jumbo, all within a ten-minute walk. For school runs, Basisschool Westerpark is just around the corner, and Basisschool De Bron is a couple of streets away. The municipality Amsterdam offers all the cultural and transport links you'd expect from the capital, though the nearest train station is a 2.8 km walk.

The asking price of €385,000 is 25% below the average asking price in the neighbourhood (€513,393) and also below the median of €450,000. Given that the average price per m² in the area is €9,700, this studio at €9,872 per m² is slightly above that average, but the total price is still on the low side for the Fannius Scholtenbuurt. It's a keen entry point for a compact home in central Amsterdam.
Fannius Scholtenbuurt is a diverse, central neighbourhood with a mix of social housing and owner-occupied apartments. Residents appreciate the proximity to Westerpark and the city centre, though some note that the range of shops is limited and public transport has worsened since tram line 3 was cancelled. The area is very densely populated, with many single-person households.
The nearest supermarket is an Albert Heijn just 64 metres away on the same street. Within a ten-minute walk you'll find several other options, including another Albert Heijn, an Ekoplaza, and a Jumbo.

The studio has an energy label B, which is good for a building from 1899. In the neighbourhood, about 23% of homes have label B, while 19% have label A or better. So this home is above average in efficiency for the area.
Westerpark is just 400 metres away, a five-minute walk. It's a large city park with plenty of green space, walking paths, and cultural venues.
How residents experience their neighbourhood
Honestly crazy! I live in the centre of little Jordan and it's really not a dream! The people outside are different than the dictionary! And the problem like all the time the 'borders'! Actually. If I want to report everything to the police I call them every day! But I have 'neighbours' with walls like head, they are really magical! All the time they are the people people! All the time willed war you want meet than you! They can try to make the food then call 112 because the other but they live in richland over the phone make noise in the nearby apartment! They are really satisfied with their integration! The one full of experience and we are the brave! Boring and all the time want pampering and dangerous for society! But yes Garden of Eden! Luckily it's forbidden now on us!
Auto-translated to English by AIThe neighbourhood has a very diverse group of residents. Here, people with bought apartments live among those who often rent apartments through urgency and the social housing association. Westerpark around the corner, beautiful nature. Accessibility by public transport has worsened since the cancellation of tram line 3. I also find the range of shops very poor.
Auto-translated to English by AIQuiet neighbourhood with beautiful Amsterdam buildings from around 1910. Location is great, close to the centre but also near the lovely Westerpark. Social cohesion is also present here, older residents through social housing mixed with new residents with high incomes and owner-occupied homes. People are friendly and involved. I enjoy living here.
Auto-translated to English by AIWith a few small adjustments, we can make Staatsliedenbuurt shine again!!
Auto-translated to English by AII've only lived here for a few months and I love my apartment in a building from 1905. I have friendly neighbours with whom I share the stairwell and front door. Unfortunately, my bikes are not safe at night and they are stolen on a regular basis. Because Westerpark is exploited for a polluting commercial festival or event almost every weekend, there is not enough nature in my living environment. Furthermore, as far as I'm concerned, there could be more and different shops and such on Van Hallstraat or the beginning of Haarlemmerweg.

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 AIIJburg is a new district still under development and it's getting better with all the amenities and a beach nearby. And you're also quickly out of the city and into the greenery.
Auto-translated to English by AIQuiet, peaceful, relaxed, green, social and a nice mix of people
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.
