Van Hogendorpstraat 60-1
Fannius Scholtenbuurt, Amsterdam
AreaA compact studio in a classic Amsterdam street
This 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.
Fannius Scholtenbuurt: a mixed, central pocket
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.
Daily life on the street
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.
