The asking price of €950,000 is above the neighbourhood average of €830,296 and the median of €775,000. However, this apartment is larger than average (105 m² vs 96 m²) and sits in a pre-war building, which typically commands a premium. The price per m² works out to about €9,048, which is in line with the neighbourhood average of €9,014. So it's priced competitively for its size and character.
The energy label is C. This is an official registration from EP-Online. Label C is in the middle of the scale, meaning the home is reasonably efficient but not top-tier. In the neighbourhood, 34.5% of homes have label C, and 31% have a lower label (D or below). You can expect moderate energy costs, but the exact amount depends on your usage.
Scheldebuurt-West is described by a long-term resident as a 'cosy little village' where people know each other and care for one another. The neighbourhood has 540 households with children, and there are several primary and secondary schools within walking distance. The resident mentions that their children went to school here and built many friends. It's a family-friendly area with regular community events.
The nearest train station is 1.1 km away, about a ten-minute walk. Given the high address density (7,303 addresses per km²), public transport connections are typically frequent in this part of Amsterdam.
The floor area is 105 m², which is above average for the neighbourhood, but without room details, you would need to check the floor plan or contact the agent for the exact layout.
The building was constructed in 1928, and all homes in the neighbourhood were built before 1945. The energy label is C, which suggests the heating system or insulation may be dated, but the listing does not provide specific details about the condition of the roof, pipes, or installations. A professional inspection would give you a clearer picture.
The listing does not mention a garden, balcony, or terrace. The plot size is not provided, so it's unclear if there is any private outdoor space.

Close to various schools, Beatrixpark and the centre. The Scheldestraat, Maasstraat and Beethovenstraat shopping streets are within walking distance. Child-friendly. The only downside is the busy traffic on the Scheldestraat, which can cause dangerous situations.

How residents experience their municipality
IJburg is a new district still under development and it's getting better with all the amenities and a beach nearby. And you're also quickly out of the city and into the greenery.

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.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's a nice quiet neighbourhood on the edge of the city but still close to many good amenities that a city has to offer. The neighbourhood is still becoming more beautiful.
