About Danie Theronstraat 32-3, Amsterdam
The asking price of €485,000 is 4% above the WOZ value of €467,000, which was set on 1 January 2025. This means the asking price is slightly higher than the municipal valuation, but that is not unusual. The WOZ value is a reference point, not the market value, and it has risen significantly in recent years.
According to the agent, this apartment has three rooms, including two bedrooms and one bathroom. It is located on the third floor of the building. The total living area is about 50 square metres according to the agent, while the BAG registration lists 49 square metres. The home also has double glazing and a central heating boiler.
The energy label is D. This label indicates that the home is not among the most efficient, so you can expect moderate energy costs. The home does have double glazing, which helps with insulation, but the label D suggests there is room for improvement. It is worth considering potential energy bills when budgeting.
The property is on municipal land with a perpetual leasehold that has been bought off. This means there is no annual ground rent to pay, which is a significant advantage. The ownership is described as 'Gemeentelijk eigendom belast met erfpacht (Eeuwigdurend afgekocht)', so the lease has been settled permanently.
The monthly homeowners' association (VvE) contribution is €190. This fee typically covers building insurance, maintenance of common areas, and sometimes a reserve fund for future repairs. It is an important factor to include in your monthly housing costs.
According to area-level data, the noise from road traffic is 51 dB Lden, which is above the Dutch norm. Rail traffic noise is 57 dB Lden, also above the norm. Aircraft noise is 43 dB Lden, which is below the norm. These are indications for the area, not measurements inside the home, so actual noise levels may vary.
The foundation risk indication for this address is medium. This is based on the fact that the building was constructed before 1970, and the entire postcode area is a KCAF attention area. This is an area-level indication, not an inspection of this specific property, so it does not mean there are actual foundation problems.
The pluvial flooding risk (from heavy rain) is medium, while the flood risk from rivers or the sea is low both now and in 2050. Heat stress is medium now and in 2050. These are area-level indications from the Klimaateffectatlas, not specific to this home, but they give an idea of what to expect.

People are not okay, they talk too much about you with lies, attack you without reason and believe what other people say about you without asking what your story is.

How residents experience their municipality
Een hele fijne, rustige buurt met veel groen en geweldige bomen die verkoeling en ontspanning bieden. 's nachts is het er stil en donker. Dat vind ik belangrijk voor de dieren. De buurt is goed bereikbaar met metro 54 en voorzieningen zijn op loopafstand in winkelcentrum de Poort. 1 ding is een ongelofelijke doorn in het oog en dat is de hygiene. Het is dagelijks een puinzoo bij de vuilcontainers. Zwerfafval waait overal naar toe. En hoewel we met een aantal bewoners dagelijks 'prikken' en opruimen is het een never ending story. Ik zou zo graag zien dat daar een oplossing voor komt.

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.
