Ed Pelsterparkbuurt, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on Bert Haanstrakade sits in the Ed Pelsterparkbuurt, a neighbourhood on IJburg that feels like a world of its own. The 85 m² home was built in 2018 and has an A energy label, so it's efficient and well-insulated. At €1,590 a month, the rent is 17% below the neighbourhood average of €1,922, making it a keen price for the size and quality. For context, this is one of the more affordable apartments in Amsterdam.
The Ed Pelsterparkbuurt is a relatively young part of IJburg, with mostly families and a mix of cultures. Based on three reviews, residents appreciate the wide streets and water in summer, but note that winters can feel isolated. 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 adds: 'I grew up here, great neighbourhood! Lots of memories and people I know.' The area has a strong urban feel with an address density of 2,159 per km². For more on the area, see the Ed Pelsterparkbuurt neighbourhood.
For daily shopping, the Dekamarkt is just around the corner, and Albert Heijn is a ten-minute walk away. There are several primary schools within walking distance: De Poseidon and Basisschool de Archipel are both a couple of streets away. Secondary education is also close, with Montessori Lyceum Terra Nova just a five-minute walk. The neighbourhood has a park or public garden within a ten-minute walk, and a restaurant is on your doorstep. For broader context, see the municipality of Amsterdam.

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. Connection within the neighbourhood and with other neighbourhoods and the city itself is what I miss most. The water in summer makes up for a lot of that, but winters are very isolated. Although the streets themselves are Dutch-regulated straight-laced grey, nature is all around the streets. I prefer to be there, and people are friendlier there, than on the street itself. Green spaces and human interaction do something to a person. Many cultures live side by side (plus point!), but unfortunately they don't mix to form a new culture. The snack bar around the corner is the best community centre. Just like nature here, really. Everything is arranged side by side, not organically. The neighbourhood is for the orderly, commuting person who longs for their own bubble when they come home. A lot of waste and food is left on the street (also cleaned up by the municipality), which in my view is linked to a lack of community building/neighbourly care, more self-interest and less interest in neighbourhood interactions. The police station in the neighbourhood is very friendly and easily approachable. That gives a pleasant sense of safety.

Auto-translated to English by AIWell my experience is more that there are sometimes conflicts with the neighbours but that mainly concerns the block itself. Sometimes we manage to sort it out but often it's also a few who make decisions, which could always be different in my opinion. Overall it is a safe neighbourhood. Where you can certainly have a laugh. There are lots of playgrounds for children which is very safe.
