About Bernard Zweerskade 24-2, Amsterdam
The asking price of €1,195,000 is 78% below the neighbourhood average of €5,389,615, but the apartment (135 m²) is also 55% smaller than the average home in Diepenbrockbuurt (301 m²). The price per square metre works out at about €8,852, which is well below the neighbourhood average of €15,839/m². Given the smaller size and the pre-war character, the price is keen relative to the local market.
The energy label is C, which is average for a pre-war apartment. You can expect moderate energy costs, not as low as a modern A-label home, but far from the high bills of a G-label property. In the neighbourhood, about 33% of homes have label C, while 33% have label A and 25% are D or lower.
The nearest train station is 1.3 km away, which is about a 15-minute walk or a short cycle. This gives you direct access to the city centre and other parts of Amsterdam without needing a car.
Diepenbrockbuurt has a mix of households: about 38% are families with children, 24% are couples without children, and 36% are singles. The area is quiet and green, with several primary and secondary schools within walking distance. One resident notes it is "ideal for both families and young professionals who love a quiet living environment."
The floor area of 135 m² suggests a spacious layout, but the exact room count is not provided by the agent.
The listing does not mention a garden, balcony, or terrace. The plot size is not given, so it is not possible to confirm any private outdoor space from the available data.
The area is well served by public transport, with tram and bus stops within walking distance. The train station at 1.3 km provides rail connections.
In the past period, 19 homes sold in the neighbourhood at an average price of €3,051,526, with an average time on market of 29 days. The current asking price of €1,195,000 is well below that average, but the apartment is also smaller than most sold properties.

How residents experience their district
I experience my neighbourhood as suitable for families, there are good schools and it is not too busy. In the area there are many options for sports. Contact with the neighbours is sufficient, but not very close. Furthermore, there are several parks in the area and the surroundings are easily accessible, with a metro and train station within walking distance. It is a fifteen-minute bike ride to the centre.

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 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.
