There are many shops in the neighbourhood, where you can get almost everything. It is reasonably clean and tidy, and traffic is fairly quiet. There isn't much greenery in the area, which I personally find a shame. There is little to no noise pollution, and I always feel safe, even in the evenings. The neighbourhood is easily accessible, though now with the Oranje Loper project it's a bit less so due to the cancellation of tram 13.
Auto-translated to English by AIThe neighbourhood in Amsterdam is a diverse area with a mix of residents, ranging from students and working people to those renting through social housing. This creates a pleasant atmosphere and an interesting dynamic in the neighbourhood. One of the biggest advantages of this neighbourhood is that everything is within reach. There are many shops, supermarkets and other amenities in the immediate vicinity. Whether you're looking for groceries, clothing stores, restaurants or cosy cafés, everything is within walking distance. Because it is a lively neighbourhood, police are often present. Although some people may be concerned about this, it may also be related to the bustle of the area. The presence of police does not necessarily indicate an unsafe neighbourhood, but is rather a measure to maintain order. Another major advantage of this neighbourhood is accessibility. With public transport you can be in the centre of Amsterdam within a short time. There are various tram and bus lines that take you anywhere quickly. In addition, the neighbourhood is also easily accessible by bike. The speed limit will soon be adjusted to 30 km/h, making cycling safer as well. Although the neighbourhood has a lot to offer, it may be less suitable for families with young children due to the hustle and bustle. The streets can be quite crowded with traffic and pedestrians, meaning children may not be able to go outside alone safely. There are playgrounds and parks in the area where children can play and have fun.

About Cabotstraat 16-1, Amsterdam
The asking price of €485,000 works out at about €10,104 per m², which is higher than the neighbourhood average of €8,528 per m². However, the median sold price in the area is €450,000, and similar apartments have sold for an average of €481,323. Given the central location and the fact that the home has an energy label D, the price is on the high side but not unreasonable.
The energy label is D, which means the home is not particularly energy-efficient. In the neighbourhood, only 16.7% of homes have a label D or lower, while the majority (66.6%) have labels A, B or C. You can expect higher heating costs compared to a more efficient home.
Residents appreciate the many shops and supermarkets within walking distance, including a Dirk and Albert Heijn. The area is lively and diverse, with good public transport connections.
