Werengouw-Midden, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodThis two-bedroom apartment on Alkmaarstraat sits in Werengouw-Midden, a neighbourhood where wide avenues and tall trees give it an almost suburban feel within the city. At €350,000, the asking price is 23% below the neighbourhood average of €453,571, making it a notably keen entry point for a home in this part of Amsterdam. For context, the average price per square metre in the area is €6,157, and this flat offers 62 m² of living space. If you're looking at apartments in Amsterdam, this one stands out for its pricing.
One resident describes it as 'a neighbourhood where you have a different life left and right', praising the mix of urban convenience and green tranquillity. The central park, with playgrounds and a pond, is a meeting point for all ages, and the weekly market adds to the community feel. With 5,005 inhabitants, the area is densely populated (3,076 addresses per km²), yet it manages to feel spacious. Most homes are flats (99%), and a quarter are owner-occupied. The neighbourhood Werengouw-Midden has a strong sense of community, with regular neighbourhood activities creating a warm atmosphere.
For your morning bread, Dirk is just around the corner, and Aldi and Albert Heijn are a couple of streets away. The IJdoornschool primary school is on your doorstep, while Hogelant secondary school is a five-minute walk. A GP and a restaurant are both a couple of streets away, and the nearest park is just around the corner. The municipality Amsterdam offers all the amenities you'd expect from a major city, yet this pocket feels remarkably calm.
