Transvaalbuurt-West, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodThis 65 m² apartment on De la Reijstraat sits in the lively Transvaalbuurt-West, a neighbourhood that feels like a village within the city. The 1921 building gives it period charm, and with an energy label B it's reasonably efficient for its age. At €565,000, the price is a touch above the neighbourhood average of €519,586, but that reflects the good condition and desirable location. For context, apartments in Amsterdam vary widely, so this one sits in the middle of the market.
The neighbourhood Transvaalbuurt-West is a dense, urban area with a strong sense of community, but not everyone loves it. Based on three reviews, opinions are split. One resident says: "I have lived in the Transvaalbuurt for 79 years. Over those years I have seen many changes, but I still live there with great pleasure! And I will continue to do so until the very end! Transvaal is my life!" Another is less enthusiastic: "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." The neighbourhood is mostly flats (98%), with many single-person households and a young adult skew. It's very urban, with over 8,300 addresses per km².
For your morning bread, Vomar is just around the corner, and Albert Heijn is a couple of streets away. Lidl is also within a five-minute walk. For school runs, Integraal Kindcentrum De Kaap is a couple of streets away, and IBS De Vijgenboom is also nearby. Secondary school pupils can walk to Pieter Nieuwland College in about five minutes. The municipality Amsterdam offers all the city's amenities, with a restaurant just around the corner and a park a ten-minute walk away.
At the time of writing, the home is listed via Edens Makelaardij and also appears on Pararius, so it's available through several channels. The price and details are current as of the listing date.

About De la Reijstraat 29A, Amsterdam
The asking price of €565,000 is slightly above the neighbourhood average of €519,586 and the median of €450,000. However, at €8,692 per m², it's below the neighbourhood average of €9,282 per m², so you're getting more space for your money. Apartments in Transvaalbuurt-West sell in about 36 days on average, so it's not a fast market.
The apartment has an energy label B, which is good for a 1921 building. It means the home is reasonably energy-efficient, with lower heating costs compared to older properties. In the neighbourhood, only 10% of homes have label B, while 36.7% have label C and another 36.7% have D or lower.
The nearest train station is 1.0 km away, which is about a ten-minute walk. That makes it convenient for commuting to other parts of Amsterdam or further afield.
The neighbourhood has a mix of opinions. One long-term resident loves it, calling it 'a wonderful neighbourhood to live in' after 79 years. Another review is negative, citing gossip and conflict. With many single-person households and a young population, it's a lively area, but experiences vary.
Yes, there are several schools within walking distance. Integraal Kindcentrum De Kaap (primary) is 268 m away, IBS De Vijgenboom (primary) is 347 m, and Pieter Nieuwland College (secondary) is 383 m. That makes school runs easy on foot.
You have Vomar at 332 m, Albert Heijn at 336 m, and Lidl at 396 m, all within a five-minute walk. For a wider selection, Dirk is 681 m away. Daily groceries are very convenient.
The CBS data records 187 total crimes in the neighbourhood, but without a per-capita figure it's hard to compare. The resident reviews mention both positive and negative experiences, so it's worth visiting at different times to get a feel for the area.
