Frederik Hendrikbuurt-Zuidoost, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodThis studio on Van Houweningenstraat sits in a lively part of Amsterdam-West. At 41 m² it's compact, but the high ceilings and large windows give it a light, airy feel. The asking price of €395,000 is 29% below the neighbourhood average of €558,859, which makes it a keen option for a first-time buyer in the city. For comparison, other studios in Amsterdam vary widely in price and size.
The neighbourhood is densely urban, with over 12,000 addresses per km². It's a young area: half the residents are between 25 and 45, and most households are single-person. Two residents shared their experiences: 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 neighbourhood Frederik Hendrikbuurt-Zuidoost has a mixed character, with both challenges and a strong sense of community.
For daily shopping, an Albert Heijn is just around the corner, and a Dirk is a couple of streets away. There are several primary schools within a five-minute walk, including Daltonschool De Waterkant and Basisschool Dr. Rijk Kramer. The municipality Amsterdam offers extensive amenities, with restaurants and a park also within easy reach.
