Burgemeester Cramergracht 179

A spacious apartment in a leafy corner of Amsterdam

This apartment on Burgemeester Cramergracht sits in the Louis Couperusbuurt, a quiet pocket of Slotermeer-Zuidoost. With 88 m² of living space, it is noticeably roomier than the neighbourhood average. The asking price of €550,000 is 26% above the local average of €437,600, which puts it on the high side, but the extra square metres and the green setting help explain the premium. For context, this is one of the larger apartments in Amsterdam currently on the market.

The Louis Couperusbuurt: green, diverse and a work in progress

Based on two resident reviews, the neighbourhood gets mixed marks. One resident calls it "a beautiful nature area with trees in courtyards close to the city" and praises the safety, affordability and mix of cultures. Another is less enthusiastic, saying "the neighbourhood coaches do nothing, the parents do nothing. Children are rude." The area is densely built (over 4,900 addresses per km²) and mostly consists of flats built between 1945 and 1970. Many households are singles, and the average income is modest.

Daily life on the street

For your morning bread, Albert Heijn is a ten-minute walk away, and Dekamarkt is about the same distance. There are several schools within walking distance: MUNDUS College Amsterdam is just a couple of streets away, and primary schools like Pro Rege Noorderhof and Al Wafa are a five- to ten-minute stroll. The area falls under the municipality of Amsterdam, so you have the city's full range of services and public transport within reach.
