A calm spot on IJburg
This apartment on Bert Haanstrakade sits in the Ed Pelsterparkbuurt, a part of IJburg-West that feels a world away from the bustle of the city. The street is quiet, the water is close, and the 2018 build shows in the clean lines and modern finish. At €1,660 a month, the rent sits about 21% below the neighbourhood average of €2,099, which makes it a keen option for anyone looking at apartments in Amsterdam.
The Ed Pelsterparkbuurt
Residents describe the area as a place of contrasts. One resident says: "Heavenly wide, not far from the bustling centre, with a good tram connection to Central Station. But other neighbourhoods always require multiple transfers, even adjacent ones." Another, who grew up here, calls it "Like home" and adds: "Great neighbourhood! Lots of memories and people I know." The water in summer is a big draw, though winters can feel isolated. The streets are orderly, nature is all around, and the local police station is described as friendly and approachable. Based on three reviews, the picture is of a neighbourhood that suits those who value peace and a bit of space. The Ed Pelsterparkbuurt neighbourhood is home to around 5,700 people, with many families and a mix of cultures.
Life on the street
For daily errands, the Dekamarkt is just around the corner, and an Albert Heijn is a ten-minute walk away. There are several schools within easy reach, including De Poseidon and Basisschool de Archipel, both a couple of streets away, and the Montessori Lyceum Terra Nova for secondary education. The area is well set up for a weekday routine, with a child daycare centre on your doorstep and a GP practice a short stroll away. The municipality of Amsterdam keeps the streets tidy, and the tram connection to the centre is a plus for commuters.
