Haarlemmerbuurt-Oost, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodThis 73 m² apartment on Droogbak sits in a 1770 building with energy label A, a rare combination of age and efficiency. The rent of €7,500 is on the high side compared to the neighbourhood average of €5,225, but the location and quality are exceptional. For context, this is one of the pricier apartments in Amsterdam.
The neighbourhood Haarlemmerbuurt-Oost is a dense, historic area with 1,520 residents, mostly singles (680 one-person households) and few families with children (115). The streets are lively, with restaurants just around the corner and a large supermarket a couple of streets away. No resident reviews are available for this neighbourhood, so the picture comes from the data: a very urban setting (address density 8,338 per km²) with a mix of old and new.
For your morning bread, Albert Heijn is just around the corner. Another Albert Heijn is a five-minute walk away. Schools are close: primary school de Burght is a couple of streets away, and Vinse School for secondary education is similarly close. The municipality Amsterdam offers all the cultural and practical amenities you'd expect from the capital.

Details of this home
Insure your home and belongingsGet insuredAbout Droogbak 7H, Amsterdam
The rent is above the neighbourhood average of €5,225 and the median of €5,225. At €103 per m², it is also higher than the average of €71 per m² in Haarlemmerbuurt-Oost. However, the apartment has an A energy label and a historic building character, which partly explains the premium. Only two rental apartments are currently available in the area, so choice is limited.
The energy label is A, which is very efficient. This means heating and electricity costs will be relatively low compared to older buildings. Given the building dates from 1770, the label A is a strong point, it indicates the home has been well insulated and modernised.
The nearest train station is 1.3 km away, about a 15-minute walk. That makes it convenient for trips out of the city, though for daily commuting within Amsterdam you'll likely use trams or the metro.
Restaurants are on your doorstep, the nearest is just 0.1 km away. The Haarlemmerbuurt is known for its many cafes and eateries, so you'll have plenty of options within a short walk.
The nearest park or public garden is 1.0 km away, about a ten-minute walk. That's reasonable for central Amsterdam, though you won't have a large green space right outside the door.
The floor area is 73 m², which typically accommodates one or two bedrooms, but you would need to check the layout with the agent.

everything at hand, it's the centre, centrally located
Auto-translated to English by AIvery nice neighbourhood
Auto-translated to English by AII find the Haarlemmerbuurt a very pleasant neighbourhood to live in. There is a good atmosphere and there are many amenities. Homeless people and tourists do regularly cause nuisance and the fact that the neighbourhood is unhygienic.

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.
