Venserpolder-Oost, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on Dickenslaan sits in a lively part of Amsterdam, with a community feel that residents describe as 'a very nice neighbourhood where everyone helps everyone when needed'. At 81 m² it's a good size for a couple or small family, and with energy label A you won't be worrying about heating bills. The asking price of €395,000 is on the high side compared to the neighbourhood average of €328,400, but the home is also 29% larger than the typical flat here. For context, apartments in Amsterdam vary widely in price and size.
Based on three reviews, Venserpolder-Oost divides opinion. One resident says: 'It's a very nice neighbourhood and there is a community centre called Boeninhuis and it's so nice there... everyone helps everyone when needed. There are many schools... it's like a top neighbourhood.' Another is less positive: 'The racist, mentally broken, lowest class dirts come together in this neighbourhood. This is the hell in the Netherlands.' The area is densely built with flats (only 6% single-family homes) and a high population density. Most homes were built between 1970 and 1990, and the neighbourhood Venserpolder-Oost has a mix of owner-occupied and rental properties.
For your morning bread, AH to go is just around the corner, and Albert Heijn is a five-minute walk away. Schools are close too: Orion College Drostenburg is a couple of streets away, and OBS de Schakel is just as near. The metro and train station are a ten-minute walk, making it easy to get into central Amsterdam. A park is on your doorstep for a quick escape from the city bustle. The municipality Amsterdam offers a wide range of amenities, but here in Venserpolder you have most things within walking distance.
At the time of writing the home is listed via Groenendaal Makelaardij and also appears on Pararius, so it's available through several channels.

I have quite a lot of experience with the neighbourhood; it's a very nice neighbourhood and there is a community centre called Boeninhuis and it's so nice there, the teacher helps a lot, there is a food bank, there are shops, and there is an AH to go at the station. It's a very pleasant neighbourhood to live in; everyone helps everyone when needed. There are many schools: BHC, TASC, Orion College, and another school next to Orion College, and Klaverblad, De Schakel, De Dreef. There is a school for almost everyone except havo/vwo students, but it's like a top neighbourhood. You can also do quite a lot here; it's quite safe here and you can get from Venserpolder to many places because there are metro stations, bus stations, train stations, buses that go abroad. The streets are sometimes clean, it depends on which block, but my block is clean, although here and there I still see litter. And the houses vary too: you have townhouses, you have flats, you have family homes, you have new homes, sometimes you have really big houses but also small ones like studios. It's a very nice neighbourhood, Venserpolder.
Auto-translated to English by AIThis is a very nice neighbourhood but it could be better
Auto-translated to English by AIThe racist, mentally broken, lowest class dirts come together in this neighbourhood. This is the hell in the Netherlands. The lowest, the ugliest ever seen. I've been all over the country. Really, either the government wants to keep this place like this to isolate the sick people from the rest of society, that's their plan, or I can't imagine they are not aware how critical the situation is in Venserpolder. They must put the cameras back on the streets and police must walk around a couple of times every day. There should be some places open where you can get back to the Amsterdam spirit. Cafes or cultural places for other than Surinamese culture. They are here being perfectly isolated and raise their kids racist against anything white and the government has no idea about it or they have some other sick plans. Because this neighbourhood needs a deep cleaning and social rebuilding!
