Churchill-laan 266-1
Wielingenbuurt, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodA quiet corner of Amsterdam
This apartment on Churchill-laan sits in the Wielingenbuurt, a pocket of the Scheldebuurt that feels more like a village than a city district. With a floor area of 98 m² and a 1935 build, it has the proportions and character of a classic Amsterdam apartment. At €3,000 per month, the rent is on the high side compared with the neighbourhood average of €2,734, but the size and setting help explain that. For context, apartments in Amsterdam vary widely in price, so this one sits at the upper end.
The Wielingenbuurt
Residents give the neighbourhood a strong 8.38 out of 10, based on two reviews. One resident calls it "Very pleasant, quiet neighbourhood, close to the city, main roads and green spaces," adding that it "Feels like a village in the city." Another says it's "Nice, cosy, child-friendly and quiet," with the Beatrixpark opposite and a quiet street where kids can play. Both mention the busy traffic on the Scheldestraat as a downside, and one notes that rubbish bins are often too full. The neighbourhood is home to around 2,950 people, with a mix of singles and families, and it's a very urban area with high address density. The Wielingenbuurt neighbourhood has its own character within the larger Scheldebuurt.
Life on the street
Daily errands are easy here. For groceries, Ekoplaza is just around the corner, Aldi a couple of streets away, and several Albert Heijn stores within a ten-minute walk. For school runs, the Dongeschool is a five-minute walk, and secondary options like Vossius Gymnasium and College ZUYD are similarly close. The Scheldestraat, Maasstraat and Beethovenstraat shopping streets are within walking distance, and the Beatrixpark is a couple of streets away. The municipality of Amsterdam offers all the amenities you'd expect from a major city, with the centre easily reachable.

Frequently asked questions
About Churchill-laan 266-1, Amsterdam
Is €3,000 a fair rent for this apartment?
The rent is €3,000 per month, which is above the neighbourhood average of €2,734 and the median of €2,700. For the 98 m² floor area, that works out to about €30.61 per m², compared with the neighbourhood average of €34.06 per m². So while the total is higher, the price per square metre is actually slightly below the local average. Whether it's fair depends on what you value in a home.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The energy label is C. This is an official registration from EP-Online, indicating the home's energy performance. A C label is in the middle of the scale, meaning energy costs are likely to be moderate, but the label itself doesn't tell you about the condition of the insulation or heating system. It's simply a standardised measure.
How far is the nearest train station?
The nearest train station is 1.3 kilometres away. That's roughly a 15-20 minute walk or a short cycle. The exact station isn't specified in the listing, but the distance gives you an idea of the connection to the wider rail network.
What are the neighbours like?
Based on two reviews, residents describe the neighbourhood as quiet, child-friendly and green, with a village feel despite being in the city. One resident mentions that local traffic is mostly manageable, while another highlights the Beatrixpark opposite as a plus. The main complaints are traffic on the Scheldestraat and sometimes overflowing rubbish bins.
What schools are nearby?
There are several schools within walking distance. The Dongeschool, a primary school, is 336 metres away. For secondary education, Vossius Gymnasium is 371 metres, College ZUYD is 382 metres, and Mediacollege Amsterdam vmbo is 406 metres. The Montessori Lyceum Amsterdam on Van Ostadestraat is a bit further at 566 metres.
How close are the shops?
Daily shopping is very convenient. Ekoplaza is just 232 metres away, Aldi 267 metres, and there are multiple Albert Heijn stores within 500 metres. The Scheldestraat, Maasstraat and Beethovenstraat shopping streets are also within walking distance, offering a range of shops and services.

How residents experience their neighbourhood
Pleasant living in this neighbourhood. Mostly local traffic, so the bustle is very manageable. Feels like a village in the city. Close to various schools, Beatrixpark and the centre. The Scheldestraat, Maasstraat and Beethovenstraat shopping streets are within walking distance. Child-friendly. The only downside is the busy traffic on the Scheldestraat, which can cause dangerous situations.

Experiences from Scheldebuurt
How residents experience their district
I have been living in this neighbourhood for 19 years now and have a good relationship with our neighbours. Fun events are regularly organised that the neighbourhood can join in with. My children went to school here and have built up many friends in the area. It is a cosy little village, most people know each other and care about one another.

Experiences from Amsterdam
How residents experience their municipality
IJburg is a new district still under development and it's getting better with all the amenities and a beach nearby. And you're also quickly out of the city and into the greenery.
Auto-translated to English by AIQuiet, peaceful, relaxed, green, social and a nice mix of people
Auto-translated to English by AII lived here for about 12 years. The neighbourhood has clear advantages: good connections by tram, bus and ferry/boat, plenty of supermarkets, gyms and practical amenities nearby. For me, however, there was one major drawback: structural low-frequency noise, demonstrably coming from commercial shipping on the Amsterdam-Rijnkanaal. If you are sensitive to that, it can be very burdensome. In my case, it was clearly noticeable indoors, especially at night. Neighbours said they slept with earplugs and extra insulation offered limited to no solution. The municipality took measurements at the time and acknowledged that the noise was significant, but indicated they could do little or nothing about it because the source fell outside their direct authority. My honest advice: visit this neighbourhood not only during the day, but also in the evening and at night, and pay specific attention to low-frequency humming or vibrations. For people sensitive to noise, I would personally strongly advise against this location.

Auto-translated to English by AINice, quiet and reasonably cosy neighbourhood. Good accessibility, the Amsterdam Forest nearby. Lots of different facilities within walking distance. Nice to live here with a family and pets! Quite a few schools within cycling distance. Hygiene in the neighbourhood is above the average level in Amsterdam. VUmc very close by.
Auto-translated to English by AIAt the end of the Silodam lies the striking MVRDV building. Surrounded by water on all sides. Every apartment has a view of the IJ and/or the Oude Houthaven. The views are therefore phenomenal and every day is different due to the weather. The sunrises and sunsets are unbeatable. Because the building is at the end of the Silodam, there is no through traffic and every person is either a resident or a visitor. This makes it, by Amsterdam standards, an exceptionally safe living environment. There is little turnover. The residents of this building form a close-knit community. A nice mix of families with and without children and single people who help each other where needed. And that too is a special quality in an increasingly transient Amsterdam. Within walking distance are the Haarlemmerdijk and the markets where you can find all the hustle and bustle if you feel like it. On the Silodam there is peace and quiet, a delight for body and mind. The wind, the seagulls, the waves on the IJ, the boats, occasionally a cruise ship, and every 5 years Sail! A little paradise in Amsterdam? Absolutely!
Auto-translated to English by AIBecause we are on the outskirts, there is no through traffic. In the middle of the street a large playground with a table tennis table and a small football pitch. And playground equipment. Behind our house only meadows.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's a nice quiet neighbourhood on the edge of the city but still close to many good amenities that a city has to offer. The neighbourhood is still becoming more beautiful.
