Borgerbuurt, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on the Borgerstraat sits in the lively Borgerbuurt, a neighbourhood where multicultural Amsterdam really comes to life. At €550,000 for 66 m², the price is in line with the market, similar apartments in Amsterdam average around €10,000 per m².
Two residents who have lived here for over 40 years describe it as a 'cosy mixed neighbourhood' with 'something for everyone'. One notes: 'I've seen the neighbourhood change, for better and for worse.' The area is densely urban, with mostly smaller households, many singles, but also families with children. The neighbourhood Borgerbuurt has a strong sense of community, though some streets could use better lighting.
For daily shopping, a SPAR is just around the corner, and an Albert Heijn is a couple of streets away. Two primary schools, Basisschool Het Winterkoninkje and Kindcentrum De Kinkerbuurt, are within a five-minute walk. The municipality Amsterdam offers plenty of restaurants and a library a short stroll away.
At the time of writing the home is listed via PB Makelaars o.z. and also appears on Funda, so it's available through several channels.

I've lived here for over 40 years, my children grew up here, and I've seen the neighbourhood change, for better and for worse. In terms of safety, I gave it a passing grade, although there could be a bit more lighting here and there; some streets are very dark. As for hygiene, I put it down to the residents; if everyone disposes of their rubbish properly, it's fine, but that's not always the case. Then housing: our young people have difficulty finding a home because certain population groups get priority. Accessibility is good for me, but I can imagine that if you're older and they just remove stops, you have trouble getting to your destination. Education is fine, plenty of schools in the area. Also plenty of supermarkets nearby.
