NeighbourhoodThis 57 m² apartment on the Albert Luthulistraat dates from 1930 and has an energy label C. At €579,000, the price is on the high side compared to the neighbourhood average of €519,586, but it reflects the current market for apartments in Amsterdam.
The neighbourhood Transvaalbuurt-West is densely urban, with over 8,300 addresses per km². Based on three reviews, opinions vary widely. One resident says: "Not a great neighbourhood. People are not okay, they talk too much about you with lies, attack you without reason and believe what other people say about you without asking what your story is." Another, who has lived here for 79 years, says: "A wonderful neighbourhood to live in. I have lived in the Transvaalbuurt for 79 years. Over those years I have seen many changes, but I still live there with great pleasure! And I will continue to do so until the very end! Transvaal is my life!" The area has many single-person households and a mix of ages.
For your morning bread, Albert Heijn is just around the corner, with Vomar and Lidl a couple of streets away. Two primary schools are within a five-minute walk: Integraal Kindcentrum De Kaap and IBS De Vijgenboom. The municipality Amsterdam offers all the amenities you'd expect from a major city.

The asking price of €579,000 is above the neighbourhood average of €519,586 and the median of €450,000. However, the average price per m² in the area is €9,282, and this apartment works out to about €10,158 per m². Given the limited supply (29 homes for sale) and the fact that 117 homes sold in the area at an average of €518,496, the price is on the high side but not out of line with the market.
The apartment has energy label C. In the neighbourhood, 36.7% of homes have label C, and another 36.7% have D or lower. Label C is reasonably efficient, meaning you can expect moderate energy costs, but it is not as efficient as A or B labels.
The nearest train station is 1.0 km away, about a ten-minute walk.
The neighbourhood has 4,020 residents, with many single-person households (1,315) and a mix of ages. Reviews are mixed: one long-term resident loves it, while another reports social tensions. The area is very urban with a high density of addresses.
Yes, two primary schools are within a five-minute walk: Integraal Kindcentrum De Kaap (148 m) and IBS De Vijgenboom (235 m). Secondary education is 0.7 km away.
Albert Heijn is 214 m away, just around the corner. Vomar (385 m) and Lidl (441 m) are a couple of streets away, so daily shopping is very convenient.
The CBS data records 187 total crimes in the area, but without a per-capita figure it is hard to compare. One resident review mentions feeling unsafe due to social issues, while another feels very positive. It is a mixed picture.

People are not okay, they talk too much about you with lies, attack you without reason and believe what other people say about you without asking what your story is.

How residents experience their municipality
Een hele fijne, rustige buurt met veel groen en geweldige bomen die verkoeling en ontspanning bieden. 's nachts is het er stil en donker. Dat vind ik belangrijk voor de dieren. De buurt is goed bereikbaar met metro 54 en voorzieningen zijn op loopafstand in winkelcentrum de Poort. 1 ding is een ongelofelijke doorn in het oog en dat is de hygiene. Het is dagelijks een puinzoo bij de vuilcontainers. Zwerfafval waait overal naar toe. En hoewel we met een aantal bewoners dagelijks 'prikken' en opruimen is het een never ending story. Ik zou zo graag zien dat daar een oplossing voor komt.

Auto-translated to English by AII lived here for about 12 years. The neighbourhood has clear advantages: good connections by tram, bus and ferry/boat, plenty of supermarkets, gyms and practical amenities nearby. For me, however, there was one major drawback: structural low-frequency noise, demonstrably coming from commercial shipping on the Amsterdam-Rijnkanaal. If you are sensitive to that, it can be very burdensome. In my case, it was clearly noticeable indoors, especially at night. Neighbours said they slept with earplugs and extra insulation offered limited to no solution. The municipality took measurements at the time and acknowledged that the noise was significant, but indicated they could do little or nothing about it because the source fell outside their direct authority. My honest advice: visit this neighbourhood not only during the day, but also in the evening and at night, and pay specific attention to low-frequency humming or vibrations. For people sensitive to noise, I would personally strongly advise against this location.

Auto-translated to English by AINice, quiet and reasonably cosy neighbourhood. Good accessibility, the Amsterdam Forest nearby. Lots of different facilities within walking distance. Nice to live here with a family and pets! Quite a few schools within cycling distance. Hygiene in the neighbourhood is above the average level in Amsterdam. VUmc very close by.
Auto-translated to English by AIAt the end of the Silodam lies the striking MVRDV building. Surrounded by water on all sides. Every apartment has a view of the IJ and/or the Oude Houthaven. The views are therefore phenomenal and every day is different due to the weather. The sunrises and sunsets are unbeatable. Because the building is at the end of the Silodam, there is no through traffic and every person is either a resident or a visitor. This makes it, by Amsterdam standards, an exceptionally safe living environment. There is little turnover. The residents of this building form a close-knit community. A nice mix of families with and without children and single people who help each other where needed. And that too is a special quality in an increasingly transient Amsterdam. Within walking distance are the Haarlemmerdijk and the markets where you can find all the hustle and bustle if you feel like it. On the Silodam there is peace and quiet, a delight for body and mind. The wind, the seagulls, the waves on the IJ, the boats, occasionally a cruise ship, and every 5 years Sail! A little paradise in Amsterdam? Absolutely!
Auto-translated to English by AIBecause we are on the outskirts, there is no through traffic. In the middle of the street a large playground with a table tennis table and a small football pitch. And playground equipment. Behind our house only meadows.
