Makassarpleinbuurt, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodThis bright apartment on Ceramplein sits in the lively Indische Buurt, where the streets hum with a mix of cultures and everyday energy. At 80 m² it's a generous size for the area, and with an A energy label it's efficient too. The asking price of €595,000 is on the high side compared to the neighbourhood average, but the home is also 48% larger than the typical apartment here, so you're paying for space and quality. For context, apartments in Amsterdam vary widely, but this one stands out.
The Makassarpleinbuurt is a dense, urban pocket with a strong sense of community. Based on four reviews, residents are divided: one calls it a "Good friendly neighbourhood" and says "The people here in the neighbourhood are friendly and everyone helps each other where needed, so nice!" Another describes it as a "Social neighbourhood" where "Everyone in the neighbourhood helps each other and stands up for each other, which is very nice." A third review is less positive, calling it a "Poop neighbourhood" and adding "It used to be hell but all the Moroccans have moved to the west." The area is very densely built up, with mostly flats and a mix of ages, many young adults and singles. For more on the area, see the neighbourhood Makassarpleinbuurt.
