The rent is 52% above the neighbourhood average of €2,602, which makes it one of the pricier options in Overhoeks. However, it is a new-build (2021) with 107 m² and an A+ energy label, so you are paying for modern efficiency and space. The average rent per m² in the area is €26.10; this home works out at about €37 per m². Whether that feels fair depends on how much you value a brand-new, energy-efficient home in a quiet but central location.
The energy label is A+, which is the most efficient category. This means the home is very energy-efficient, so you can expect low heating and electricity costs. The label is an official registration from EP-Online.
Overhoeks is a modern, quiet neighbourhood on the north side of the IJ. Residents appreciate the calm atmosphere and the quick ferry connection to Amsterdam Centraal. Based on three reviews, it scores 7.67 out of 10. The main downside mentioned is the lack of a large supermarket nearby, the nearest Albert Heijn is small. The area has many young professionals and a safe, green feel.
The nearest supermarket, Albert Heijn, is 185 m away. There are also an AH to go and a Vomar within a ten-minute walk. Schools are very close: Hyperion Lyceum (secondary) is 30 m away, and primary school IKC Overhoeks is 332 m. A GP practice is 600 m away, and a restaurant is just 300 m. The park is on your doorstep at 100 m.
The nearest train station is 5.6 km away. However, the ferry to Amsterdam Centraal is a short walk from the apartment and runs frequently, making the city centre easily accessible without a car.
With 107 m² and a modern layout, it could work for a small family. The neighbourhood is quiet and has a primary school within walking distance. However, the area has many one-person households and the average household size is 1.7, so it is more typical for couples or singles. The lack of a large supermarket nearby might be a consideration for families.

It's a very nice neighbourhood, just a shame that the nearest supermarket is so small and therefore doesn't have everything.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's a nice neighbourhood to grow up in, but it's a shame there's no large supermarket nearby; you have to take your bike for that, about a 7-minute ride.

Auto-translated to English by AII've been living on Hetty Blokstraat for 2 years now. And I think it's a great neighbourhood. With nice people and beautiful energy-efficient houses. The public transport connections are unfortunately not great. But since this is a new district, I think that will change. I think it's a super nice neighbourhood and I don't think I'll ever leave this neighbourhood.

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 AIQuiet, peaceful, relaxed, green, social and a nice mix of people
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.
