About Balboaplein 62, Amsterdam
How does the asking price compare to the WOZ value?
The asking price of €650,000 is 4% below the WOZ value of €677,000, which was set on 1 January 2025. This means the asking price is slightly lower than the municipal valuation. The WOZ value is an official estimate for tax purposes, not necessarily the current market value, but it can be a useful reference point.

There is a balcony, and the property is on municipal leasehold land with the ground rent paid off until 31-05-2053.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The energy label is A, which is an efficient label. This means the home is likely to have lower energy costs compared to less efficient labels. The agent also lists extensive insulation, including roof insulation, triple glazing, and floor insulation, which supports the efficient label. However, the label itself is a general rating, not a guarantee of actual energy usage.
What are the noise levels like at this address?
According to area-level data, the noise levels from road traffic are 42 dB Lden, from rail traffic 32 dB Lden, and from air traffic 46 dB Lden. All of these are below the legal noise standards. This indicates that noise pollution is not expected to be a major issue, though it's based on area-level indications, not a measurement at the property itself.
What is the foundation risk for this property?
The foundation risk indication for this address is low, according to area-level data. However, it's noted that 67% of buildings in this postcode area were built before 1970, which could be relevant. This is an area-level indication, not an inspection of this specific home, so it should be considered as general information.
What are the flood and heat stress risks?
The pluvial flooding risk (from heavy rain) is medium, while the flood risk from rivers or the sea is low, both currently and in 2050. Heat stress is currently medium, but is expected to become elevated by 2050.

Experiences from Balboaplein en omgeving
How residents experience their neighbourhood
There are many shops in the neighbourhood, where you can get almost everything. It is reasonably clean and tidy, and traffic is fairly quiet. There isn't much greenery in the area, which I personally find a shame. There is little to no noise pollution, and I always feel safe, even in the evenings. The neighbourhood is easily accessible, though now with the Oranje Loper project it's a bit less so due to the cancellation of tram 13.
Auto-translated to English by AIThe neighbourhood in Amsterdam is a diverse area with a mix of residents, ranging from students and working people to those renting through social housing. This creates a pleasant atmosphere and an interesting dynamic in the neighbourhood. One of the biggest advantages of this neighbourhood is that everything is within reach. There are many shops, supermarkets and other amenities in the immediate vicinity. Whether you're looking for groceries, clothing stores, restaurants or cosy cafés, everything is within walking distance. Because it is a lively neighbourhood, police are often present. Although some people may be concerned about this, it may also be related to the bustle of the area. The presence of police does not necessarily indicate an unsafe neighbourhood, but is rather a measure to maintain order. Another major advantage of this neighbourhood is accessibility. With public transport you can be in the centre of Amsterdam within a short time. There are various tram and bus lines that take you anywhere quickly. In addition, the neighbourhood is also easily accessible by bike. The speed limit will soon be adjusted to 30 km/h, making cycling safer as well. Although the neighbourhood has a lot to offer, it may be less suitable for families with young children due to the hustle and bustle. The streets can be quite crowded with traffic and pedestrians, meaning children may not be able to go outside alone safely. There are playgrounds and parks in the area where children can play and have fun.

Experiences from Amsterdam
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 AIIJburg 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.
