Timorpleinbuurt-Noord, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on Bankastraat sits in the lively Indische Buurt, a part of Amsterdam that feels both urban and village-like. The 75 m² floor area is typical for a 1911 build, with high ceilings and original details that give the home a sense of space. The energy label is E, which is less efficient than most of the homes currently for sale in the neighbourhood, something to factor in. At €575,000, the asking price is slightly above the neighbourhood average of €545,254, so it's on the high side compared to other apartments in Amsterdam.

It's a place where you know your neighbours, and the mix of cultures adds to the character. This is the Timorpleinbuurt-Noord neighbourhood in a nutshell.
Your daily routine here is easy: grab bread at Albert Heijn just around the corner, or walk a couple of streets away to Lidl for a bigger shop. For school runs, De Indische Buurt School is on your doorstep, and Bataviaschool is a five-minute walk. Secondary school Havo De Hof is a ten-minute walk. The area is buzzing with cafes and restaurants, and the park or garden is a five-minute walk away. Everything you need is within the municipality of Amsterdam.

I don't think the neighbourhood is extremely special, but I do like the atmosphere and there are nice people living here. I would like to see a bit more greenery, like more flowers and plants. That would make the neighbourhood a bit cosier. Also, there is often litter on the streets, which doesn't look nice and especially not cosy. Other than that, I'm happy with my neighbourhood!

About Bankastraat 50-3, Amsterdam
The asking price of €575,000 is above the neighbourhood average of €545,254 and the median of €475,000. However, this apartment is slightly larger than the average (75 m² vs 62 m²), which partly explains the premium. The energy label E is less efficient than most homes for sale here, so you may want to budget for improvements. Overall, the price is on the high side compared to other listings in Timorpleinbuurt-Noord.
The energy label is E, which means the home is not very energy-efficient. In the neighbourhood, 29% of homes have a label D or lower, so this is not unusual for a pre-war building. You can expect higher heating costs compared to a home with a better label. The listing does not mention insulation or double glazing, so those are likely absent.
The nearest train station is 1.0 km away, which is about a ten-minute walk. This makes it convenient for commuting to other parts of Amsterdam or further afield.
Timorpleinbuurt-Noord is a dense, urban neighbourhood with a strong community feel. One resident says it's 'fine' with a nice atmosphere and friendly people, though they'd like more greenery and less litter. There are plenty of shops, cafes, and restaurants within walking distance, and the area is well-connected by public transport.
Currently, there are 31 apartments for sale in Timorpleinbuurt-Noord. The average time on the market for sold homes is 32 days, which suggests a fairly active market. Prices range from €275,000 to €1,450,000, so this apartment sits in the mid-to-upper range.
There are several primary schools within walking distance: De Indische Buurt School (84 m), Bataviaschool (334 m), and Basisschool Oostelijke Eilanden (585 m). For secondary education, Havo De Hof is 551 m away. All are within a ten-minute walk.
The listing does not mention a garden, balcony, or terrace. Given that this is a first-floor apartment in a 1911 building, it is unlikely to have private outdoor space. The neighbourhood has a park or garden 0.5 km away.
