Erasmusparkbuurt-West, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodThis 1939 apartment on the Blancefloorstraat sits in a lively part of Amsterdam West, where the streets are lined with classic brick architecture and the atmosphere is unmistakably urban. At 52 m² and with an energy label D, it's a compact home that reflects its era, solidly built but with heating costs to expect. Priced at €475,000, it sits below the neighbourhood average of €529,927 and close to the median of €469,000, making it a keen entry into the local market for apartments in Amsterdam.
The neighbourhood Erasmusparkbuurt-West is a dense, urban neighbourhood with over 8,500 addresses per km², very strongly urban. It's a young area: more than half the residents are between 25 and 45, and most households are single-person. One resident who has lived here for over 15 years calls it a "decent neighbourhood", noting it's always been nice, though they lament the number of homes bought up by landlords and sublet at too high a price. The neighbourhood has a mix of energy labels, with over half of homes rated D or lower, and the vast majority were built before 1945.
For daily groceries, the nearest Albert Heijn is just around the corner, and a Dirk is a couple of streets away. There are several primary schools within a five-minute walk, including Kindcentrum de Vindplaats and Tijl Uilenspiegelschool. A park or public garden is on your doorstep, and a restaurant is just around the corner. The municipality Amsterdam offers all the cultural and transport links you'd expect from the capital, though the nearest train station is a ten-minute walk away.
At the time of writing the home is listed via Aemestelle Makelaars Amsterdam and also appears on Huispedia, so it's available through several channels.

I've lived here for over 15 years and it's always been nice (except for that one idiot living above me, but oh well). The only downside is the number of homes bought up by landlords and then sublet at too high a price.

About Blancefloorstraat 23-2, Amsterdam
At €475,000, this apartment is priced below the average asking price in Erasmusparkbuurt-West (€529,927) and just above the median (€469,000). Given the 52 m² floor area, the price per m² works out to about €9,135, which is slightly above the neighbourhood average of €8,508 per m². So it's a market-rate price for the size, but not out of line with the local market.
Erasmusparkbuurt-West is a very densely populated urban area with a young demographic, over half the residents are aged 25 to 45. Most households are single-person. One long-term resident describes it as a 'decent neighbourhood' but notes that many homes have been bought by landlords and sublet at high rents. The area has a high proportion of pre-war buildings and a mix of energy labels.
The closest supermarket is an Albert Heijn about 400 metres away, just a few minutes' walk. A Dirk is about 500 metres away, and there are several other Albert Heijn branches within 600 metres. So daily shopping is very convenient on foot.
There are several primary schools within walking distance. Kindcentrum de Vindplaats is about 300 metres away, Tijl Uilenspiegelschool is around 400 metres, and De Zijderoute is about 500 metres. For secondary education, the nearest school is about 1.5 km away.
Energy label D means the home is not particularly energy-efficient. You can expect higher heating costs compared to modern homes with labels A or B. In the neighbourhood, over half of homes have labels D or lower, so this is typical for the area. The home was built in 1939, so it likely has single glazing and less insulation than newer builds.
The nearest train station is about 2.9 km away, which is roughly a 35-minute walk or a short bus or tram ride. The area is well served by public transport, but for direct train connections you'd need to travel a bit further.
Yes, a park or public garden is just 300 metres away, so it's on your doorstep. That's great for a quick escape from the urban bustle.
