Curaçaostraat 109-1

A pre-war apartment in a lively Amsterdam neighbourhood

This first-floor apartment on Curaçaostraat sits in the Westindische Buurt, a part of Amsterdam where the streets have a friendly, village-like feel despite the city bustle. At 54 m² it's compact but well laid out, with an energy label C, not the cheapest to heat, but far from the worst. The asking price of €495,000 is noticeably below the neighbourhood average of €626,531, which makes it a keen entry point into this part of town. For context, apartments in Amsterdam vary widely, but this one is priced to sell.

Postjeskade e.o., close-knit and convenient

The neighbourhood Postjeskade e.o. is a dense, urban area with over 9,000 addresses per km². Most homes are pre-war (100% built before 1945), and the population skews young: nearly half the residents are between 25 and 45. One resident sums it up: "In our neighbourhood, the shops and public transport are easily accessible! The community is close-knit and they look out for each other." That single review gives a score of 9.25 out of 10, suggesting a high level of satisfaction. The area has a mix of singles and families, with average household size at 1.7.

Daily life on the street

For your morning bread, Aldi is just around the corner, and Albert Heijn is a couple of streets away. Jumbo and Lidl are also within a five-minute walk. If you have young children, OBS Corantijn is on your doorstep, and the 7e Montessorischool is a ten-minute walk. The municipality Amsterdam offers all the cultural and recreational options you'd expect from the capital, with a park or public garden just a couple of streets away.
