The asking price of €625,000 is 16% below the neighbourhood average of €741,842. Given that the average price per m² in the Trompbuurt is €9,305, this 75 m² apartment comes in at about €8,333 per m², which is below the local average. However, the home has a C energy label and was built in 1921, so factor in potential maintenance.
The Trompbuurt is a dense, pre-war neighbourhood with a mix of students, expats and families. Residents describe it as pleasant and cosy, with good restaurants and shops, but note that a sense of community is sometimes lacking. There's a playground and an ice cream shop, and the area is very central.
The nearest train station is 3.5 km away, so it's not within walking distance. You would need a tram, bus or bike to reach it. The neighbourhood is well served by trams and buses for connections to the city centre and beyond.
There are several supermarkets within a short walk. An Albert Heijn is 233 metres away, another Albert Heijn and an Aldi are 261 metres away, and a Dirk is 702 metres away. So daily shopping is very convenient.
Several primary schools are within walking distance. The Admiraal De Ruyterschool is just 56 metres away, De Visserschool is 130 metres, and Islamitische basisschool Al Maes is 261 metres. There are also secondary schools within 0.7 km.
The energy label is C, which is average for a pre-war apartment. It means the home has some insulation but is not as efficient as modern builds. Heating costs will be moderate. In the neighbourhood, 50% of homes have label C, so this is typical.
Currently, there are 19 apartments for sale in the Trompbuurt, with prices ranging from €450,000 to €1,450,000. The median price is €695,000, so this apartment is below the median. In the past year, 80 homes were sold, with an average selling time of 29 days.
How residents experience their neighbourhood
It's nice there and friendly people. But a sense of togetherness is lacking and I don't have much contact with my neighbours either, which I regret. My primary school days in this neighbourhood were really perfect and the restaurants and shops are also very good. But there are many students and expats, which makes me feel a certain divide and not much community. I myself would like to move out, but that's certainly not possible in my neighbourhood because they are far too expensive.
Auto-translated to English by AINice and cosy, there is an ice cream shop and a playground called de ruige speeltijn but now it's for babies because everything is getting super small, which is a shame, but the rest is great. We get along well and some of my friends live very close by, which is also nice. But I do think there should be more playgrounds for older children, because babies are fine at home too, but older kids just end up on their phones or laptops, so more playgrounds for older children, that's the only thing.

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 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.
