Valeriusbuurt-Oost, Amsterdam
This is a home with presence. On one of Amsterdam's most distinguished streets, a 302 m² apartment in a 1922 building with an E energy label. The price of €3,350,000 is 60% above the neighbourhood average asking price of €2,098,077, which is understandable given the size: the floor area is 94% larger than the average of 156 m² in the area. For context, apartments in Amsterdam vary widely, but this one is clearly in a different league.
Valeriusbuurt-Oost is a quiet, well-to-do pocket of Amsterdam with a village-like feel. One resident, who grew up here, describes it as 'a very nice, fairly quiet neighbourhood' and 'very cosy and child-friendly'. Based on that single review, it's a place where people feel at home. The area is mostly pre-war housing (88.5% built before 1945), and the streets are lined with mature trees. It's a neighbourhood where you know your neighbours. For more on the area, see the Valeriusbuurt-Oost neighbourhood.

About Emmastraat 32K, Amsterdam
The asking price is 60% above the neighbourhood average of €2,098,077, but the apartment is also 94% larger than the average (302 m² vs 156 m²). The price per square metre works out at about €11,093, which is below the neighbourhood average of €13,314 per m². So while the total price is high, you are getting significantly more space for your money.
Valeriusbuurt-Oost is a quiet, child-friendly neighbourhood with a strong sense of community. One resident who grew up there calls it 'very cosy and child-friendly' and 'fairly quiet'. The area is mostly pre-war housing, with tree-lined streets and a village atmosphere. It's a sought-after part of Amsterdam without the hustle and bustle of the city centre.
The nearest supermarket is an Albert Heijn just 95 metres away, literally on your doorstep. For a wider selection, Jumbo is 659 metres away, about a ten-minute walk. There are also several other supermarkets within a kilometre, including another Albert Heijn and an Ekoplaza.
There are three primary schools within a five-minute walk: 2e Daltonschool Pieter Bakkum, De Amsterdamse Montessori School, and Schoolvereniging Willemspark. For secondary education, Het Amsterdams Lyceum is about 400 metres away. All are well-regarded schools in the area.
The nearest train station is 2.4 km away. That's about a 30-minute walk or a short bike ride.
The energy label is E, which means the home is not particularly energy-efficient. You can expect higher heating costs compared to a more modern property. The building dates from 1922, so it likely has single glazing and less insulation. It's worth noting that 36.4% of homes in the neighbourhood have a label D or lower.
The floor area is 302 m², which is very spacious, so you can expect multiple bedrooms and living areas, but the exact layout is not provided.
The listing does not mention a garden, balcony, or terrace. The plot size is not given, so it's unclear if there is any private outdoor space.

Auto-translated to English by AINot much to do. Almost no greenery on the street, also gets extremely hot in summer. You never see anyone walking around and rubbish is collected on time. But extremely noisy with construction workers starting at 7 am.

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 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.
