Zuidwestkwadrant-Zuid, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodThis 1965 apartment on Baden Powellweg offers a straightforward living space in a lively part of Amsterdam. At 47 m² with an energy label C, it's a compact home that's priced keenly: the asking price of €300,000 is 35% below the neighbourhood average, partly because the floor area is 46% smaller than typical homes here. For context, apartments in Amsterdam vary widely, but this one is at the more affordable end of the market.
The Zuidwestkwadrant-Zuid neighbourhood is a mixed area with a strong urban feel, address density is high at 4,584 per km². Residents describe it as adequate and family-friendly, with many playgrounds and supermarkets like Albert Heijn and Jumbo within walking distance. One resident notes: "Plenty of educational opportunities, supermarkets... many playgrounds, so really family-friendly." However, others point out downsides: "Hardly any Dutch shops... mostly Muslim" and "there are so often bombs and explosions." Based on four reviews, the neighbourhood scores a 6.58 out of 10, reflecting its contrasts.
For daily shopping, Albert Heijn is just around the corner, and Jumbo is a couple of streets away. Schools are close by: Yuverta vmbo Amsterdam-West (secondary) is on your doorstep, and primary school De Odyssee is just 195 m away.

Hardly any Dutch shops... mostly Muslim. On Tussenmeer 85 there is a squatter's pro-Palestine building... while everything is being done in the neighbourhood to make it nice. The building is full of Palestine flags and hate texts. We want more Dutch shops... For the rest... nice area for walking and cycling. The city is accessible from all sides and everything is well reachable. All shops are present.
Auto-translated to English by AIAdequate/average (not bad, but not fantastic either. Just normal), it's not the best, but no neighbourhood is; things can always change/improve. Plenty of educational opportunities, supermarkets like Albert Heijn and Jumbo, a bit further (15 minutes walk) there's also the centre with all sorts of other amenities such as shops, supermarkets, ice cream shops, restaurants, etc. Many playgrounds, so really family-friendly. However, I must admit that there is little parking space, possibly due to these amenities. Hygiene could also be better; there is often some rubbish on the ground that doesn't belong there, like cans etc. Housing: there are many homes and houses in the neighbourhood, also with private and shared garages, so really great.
Auto-translated to English by AIThere are so often bombs and explosions. And a lot of rubbish thrown on the ground. Constant arguments. Many young people with fitbikes. Almost got run over.
Auto-translated to English by AIVaried. I can't describe it with one word because in some areas it differs greatly from another. One aspect is simply a bit less good, for example there is very little parking space. Other areas are really great, everything is nearby, much is within walking distance, think schools, supermarkets, city centre, restaurants etc. That there is little greenery is not surprising when you live in a neighbourhood. Hygiene could also be better in my opinion, there are many things always on the street while there is a bin just 1 metre away.

About Baden Powellweg 255, Amsterdam
The asking price of €300,000 is 35% below the average asking price in the neighbourhood (€461,889). However, the apartment is also 46% smaller than the average home here (87 m²). Given the compact size and energy label C, the price is in line with what you'd expect for a 47 m² apartment in this part of Amsterdam.
The energy label is C, which is average for a home from 1965. It means the property has reasonable insulation but is not as efficient as modern homes. You can expect moderate energy costs, but no exact figures are provided in the listing.
The nearest train station is 4 km away.
Albert Heijn is 459 m away (just around the corner), Jumbo is 682 m (a couple of streets away), and Lidl is 974 m (a ten-minute walk). So daily groceries are easily covered on foot.
Secondary school Yuverta vmbo Amsterdam-West is 184 m away, and primary school De Odyssee is 195 m away. Both are within a short walk. Other primary schools like Basisschool Het Bovenland (492 m) and De Horizon (552 m) are also close.
The neighbourhood has a total of 328 reported crimes, but no breakdown is given. Resident reviews are mixed: some mention "bombs and explosions" and "constant arguments", while others find it "adequate" and family-friendly. It's best to visit and get a feel for the area yourself.
The floor area is 47 m², which typically suggests a one-bedroom or compact two-bedroom layout, but you would need to check the floor plan with the agent.
