NeighbourhoodThis apartment in Overhoeks is part of a 2025 development, so everything is fresh and energy-efficient with an A+++ label.

It's mostly young adults and singles, the average household size is 1.7, and the largest age group is 25 to 45. Based on three reviews, residents appreciate the peace and the quick ferry to the city centre. One resident says: "It'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." Another adds: "Beautiful and quiet Overhoeks... you can be in the heart of Amsterdam within 10 minutes without having to deal with the hustle and bustle of the centre." The only downside mentioned is the limited shopping options. This is the Overhoeks neighbourhood in a nutshell.
For your morning bread and groceries, the nearest Albert Heijn is just around the corner, though residents note it's small. A larger Vomar is a ten-minute walk away. For school runs, IKC Overhoeks is on your doorstep, and the Hyperion Lyceum secondary school is a couple of streets away. There's also a park or public garden within a stone's throw for a quick breather. All this falls under the municipality of Amsterdam, which means excellent public transport links and city-wide amenities.

Yes, it's a keen price. The average rent in Overhoeks is €2,602, and the median is €2,205. At €2,352, this apartment is about 10% below the neighbourhood average, which is attractive for a new-build with an A+++ energy label. The price per square metre works out to roughly €32, compared to the neighbourhood average of €26.10, but the modern specs and low energy costs offset that.
The energy label is A+++, the highest possible rating. This means the apartment is extremely energy-efficient, with excellent insulation and likely a heat pump or similar system. Your heating and electricity bills will be very low compared to older homes. It's a brand-new building (2025), so you can expect modern standards throughout.
The nearest supermarket is an Albert Heijn at 311 metres, just around the corner. However, residents say it's small and doesn't stock everything. For a larger supermarket, you'd need to walk about 760 metres to a Vomar, or cycle about 7 minutes. There are also two AH to go locations within a ten-minute walk.
There are several schools within walking distance. IKC Overhoeks primary school is just 65 metres away, and the Hyperion Lyceum secondary school is 368 metres away. Other primary schools within a ten-minute walk include Dalton Kind Centrum De IJsbreker (507 m) and Montessori Basisschool de Eilanden (893 m).
The train station is 5.6 km away. That's about a 15-minute bike ride or a short bus trip. The neighbourhood is well-connected by ferry to Amsterdam Centraal, which takes about 10 minutes, so you can reach the city centre quickly without needing the train for local trips.
Overhoeks is a quiet, safe neighbourhood on the north side of the IJ. It's very urban with a high address density, mostly populated by young adults and singles. Residents love the calm atmosphere and the easy access to central Amsterdam via ferry. The main drawback is the lack of a large supermarket, but daily essentials are covered by a small Albert Heijn nearby.

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 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.
