Van der Helstpleinbuurt, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodThis studio on Van Ostadestraat sits in one of Amsterdam's liveliest neighbourhoods. At 31 m² it's compact, but the location makes up for it. The price of €595,000 is on the high side compared to the neighbourhood average, partly because studios are scarce, there are only 39 homes for sale in the Van der Helstpleinbuurt. For context, studios in Amsterdam vary widely in price and size.
The Van der Helstpleinbuurt is a dense, urban area with a mix of young professionals and students. Most homes are pre-war, and the streets are lined with trees. One resident sums it up: "It's really a good neighbourhood. It's easily accessible by metro and tram, except at night. There's only 1 bus in the area and that one at 5 in the morning (to Schiphol) is super annoying. Furthermore, it's nicely green with parks and trees in the neighbourhood. There are also many amenities; shops, bakeries, butchers, eateries, really everything." The neighbourhood Van der Helstpleinbuurt has a high proportion of single-person households and a very high density of addresses.
For your morning bread, Albert Heijn is just around the corner, and Lidl is a couple of streets away. There are several primary schools within a five-minute walk, including the 3e Daltonschool Alberdingk Thijm and the 9e Montessorischool De Scholekster. Secondary schools like the Montessori Lyceum are also close by. The municipality Amsterdam offers excellent public transport connections, with trams and metro nearby.

It's really a good neighbourhood. It's easily accessible by metro and tram, except at night. There's only 1 bus in the area and that one at 5 in the morning (to Schiphol) is super annoying. Furthermore, it's nicely green with parks and trees in the neighbourhood. There are also many amenities; shops, bakeries, butchers, eateries, really everything. Also, it's very safe, there are occasional burglaries but they are minor and only target shops. Furthermore, no one has been murdered or large drug labs found in years. Just lock your bike properly. The houses are nice and good, but WAY TOO EXPENSIVE! Renting here is a nightmare if it's not social housing :/
