In 1886, Freddy Heineken's father opened the Heineken brewery here. The initial quickly and affordably constructed workers' homes around Albert Cuypstraat were later complemented by houses in the Amsterdam School style by Berlage, heading towards the Diamantbuurt. It is claimed that the neighborhood derives its name from the long, straight streets resembling a pipe. The dynamism of De Pijp is defined by the Albert Cuyp market and Sarphatipark. Artists and writers, including Piet Mondriaan, Carel Willink, and Gerard Reve, have lived and worked here. The lively, diverse population brought numerous cafes and eateries to the area. Today, De Pijp is known as Amsterdam's Quartier Latin, featuring a mix of dynamic restaurants like Auberge Jean & Marie and authentic bistros like Petit Caron. Various shops, supermarkets, cafes, and charming restaurants are around the corner, along with good schools, childcare, and sports facilities in the vicinity. The apartment is easily accessible, with De Pijp metro station and a large parking garage just a stone's throw away. In approximately 5 minutes, you can bike to the center of Amsterdam, and the highways A1, A2, A9, and A10, as well as the route to Schiphol, are easily reachable.
