Louis Couperusbuurt, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodThis terraced house on Arthur van Schendelstraat sits in a quiet, green pocket of Amsterdam. With 67 m² of living space and a 77 m² plot, it offers a practical layout for a couple or small family. The rent of €2,250 is keen compared to the neighbourhood average of €3,250 for rental homes, and there are only a handful of similar properties available. For context, terraced houses in Amsterdam are scarce in the rental market.
The Louis Couperusbuurt neighbourhood is a diverse, green area with a mix of cultures and many young residents. Based on two reviews, one resident calls it "a beautiful nature area with trees in courtyards close to the city" and notes it is "safe" and "healthy and cheap to live in for starters." Another resident is less positive, saying "the neighbourhood coaches do nothing, the parents do nothing. Children are rude." The area has a high address density of nearly 5,000 per km², typical of a very strongly urban setting, and most homes are flats rather than houses.
For daily shopping, the Albert Heijn is just around the corner, with Dekamarkt and Jumbo a couple of streets away. Primary schools like Pro Rege Noorderhof and Al Wafa are within a five-minute walk, and secondary schools Spring High and MUNDUS College Amsterdam are even closer. The neighbourhood has a park or public garden a short walk away, and a GP surgery is also nearby. The municipality of Amsterdam provides extensive amenities across the city.
At the time of writing, the home is listed through several channels, including Inter immo, Inter Immo Makelaars BV, and Funda.

About Arthur van Schendelstraat 4, Amsterdam
At €2,250, this terraced house is priced below the neighbourhood average of €3,250 for rental homes. The average price per m² in the area is €48.51, so this home works out at about €33.58 per m², which is notably lower. Given that only one rental property is currently available in the neighbourhood, this is a market-rate price.
The home has energy label C, which is average for a house of this age (built in 1953). Label C means the property is reasonably efficient, so you can expect moderate energy bills compared to older homes with lower labels. It is not as efficient as a modern A-rated home, but it is a solid middle ground.
The nearest train station is 3 km away, which is about a 10-minute cycle or a short bus ride. The area is well served by public transport, but for daily commuting by train you would need to factor in that distance.
The Louis Couperusbuurt has a mix of households: about 35% are single-person, 13% are couples with children, and 9% are couples without children. There are several primary and secondary schools within walking distance, and the area is green with parks nearby. One resident describes it as "safe" and "healthy," though another mentions issues with children's behaviour.
The listing does not state the number of rooms. Based on the floor area of 67 m², it is likely a two- or three-bedroom home, but you would need to check the layout with the agent for exact details.
The plot size is 77 m², which typically includes some outdoor space, but the listing does not explicitly mention a garden. Given the plot is larger than the floor area, there is likely a small garden or courtyard, but this is not confirmed in the listing.
The nearest supermarket is Albert Heijn, about 700 m away (a 10-minute walk). Dekamarkt and Jumbo are also within a 10- to 12-minute walk, so daily shopping is convenient without a car.
The neighbourhood recorded 150 total crimes in the latest data, which is moderate for an urban area. One resident says it is "a safe area where incidents are avoided," while another mentions issues with children being rude. Overall, it is considered a typical city neighbourhood with some variation in experience.
