Louis Couperusbuurt, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodThis terraced house on Herman Poortstraat sits in a quiet, leafy corner of Amsterdam Nieuw-West. With 67 m² of living space and a 93 m² plot, it offers a surprising amount of room for a city rental. The energy label B means it's reasonably efficient. At €3,250 per month, the price is in line with the only other rental in the neighbourhood, a small market, but the home itself is a rare find. For context, terraced houses in Amsterdam are scarce, so this listing stands out.
The Louis Couperusbuurt neighbourhood is a calm, green area with trees in the courtyards and a mix of cultures. Based on two reviews, residents appreciate the peace and safety. One resident says: "A safe area where incidents are avoided, a neighbourhood that is healthy and cheap to live in for starters. Lots of green, peace and environmentally friendly for singles. You can park your car in front of the door." Another is less positive: "The neighbourhood coaches do nothing, the parents do nothing. Children are rude." The area has many young people and single-person households, and the average income is modest. With an address density of 4,964 per km², it's very urban, yet the streets feel spacious.
For daily groceries, Albert Heijn is just around the corner, and Jumbo and Dekamarkt are a couple of streets away. There are several schools within walking distance: Spring High secondary school is on your doorstep, MUNDUS College is a five-minute walk, and primary schools like Pro Rege Noorderhof are also close. The neighbourhood has a park or public garden a few minutes away, and a GP practice is nearby. The train station is about three kilometres away, so you'd cycle or take a bus. The municipality of Amsterdam provides all the usual city amenities, from libraries to restaurants.
At the time of writing, the home is listed through several channels, including Executive Home Rentals (EHR) and Pararius. The agent has published full details, so the information on this page reflects the current listing.

About Herman Poortstraat 5, Amsterdam
The asking rent of €3,250 is exactly the average for the only other rental in the Louis Couperusbuurt, so it's in line with the local market. At €48.51 per m², the price per square metre is also consistent with the neighbourhood average. Given the scarcity of terraced houses for rent in Amsterdam, the price reflects the home's rarity.
The energy label is B, which means the home is reasonably energy-efficient. You can expect moderate heating costs, though exact bills depend on usage. The neighbourhood has a mix of labels, but this home's B label is above average for the area.
The nearest supermarket is Albert Heijn, about 723 metres away, a ten-minute walk. Jumbo and Dekamarkt are also within a kilometre, so daily shopping is convenient on foot or by bike.
There are several schools within walking distance. Spring High secondary school is just 114 metres away, MUNDUS College is 324 metres, and primary schools like Pro Rege Noorderhof (502 m) and Al Wafa (570 m) are also close. This makes the area practical for families with school-age children.
Residents have mixed views. One review describes it as a safe area where incidents are avoided, while another mentions issues with children's behaviour. The total number of crimes recorded in the neighbourhood is 150, which is moderate for an urban area. Overall, it's considered a calm and green pocket of the city.
The nearest train station is about 3 kilometres away. That's a 10-15 minute bike ride or a short bus trip.
The plot measures 93 m², which is generous for a terraced house in Amsterdam. The listing does not explicitly mention a garden, so it's unclear whether the plot includes private outdoor space.
