VU-kwartier, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodThis is a brand-new apartment on Florence Pricehof, a quiet street in the VU-kwartier. With 108 m² of floor space and an A++ energy label, it is as efficient as it is spacious. The rent of €3,450 is 24% above the neighbourhood average of €2,785, so it sits on the high side of the market. That is partly because it is a new-build in a sought-after part of town, and because there are only a handful of rentals available in the area. For context, this is one of the apartments in Amsterdam that commands a premium for being brand new.
The VU-kwartier is a small, leafy neighbourhood with just 175 residents. It is dominated by young professionals and students, most households are single-person, and the average age sits firmly in the 25-45 bracket. The area feels calm and residential, with a park or public garden just a five-minute walk away. There are no neighbourhood reviews available for this street, but the figures speak for themselves: it is a quiet, well-to-do enclave within the busy Zuidas district. For more context, see the VU-kwartier neighbourhood.
For your daily shopping, you have an AH to go just around the corner, and a full Albert Heijn and a SPAR within a couple of streets away. There are several primary schools within a ten-minute walk, including the Tweede Openluchtschool voor het Gezonde Kind and the Geert Groote School. Secondary schools such as the Geert Groote College and Spinoza Lyceum are also within easy walking distance. The neighbourhood is part of the municipality of Amsterdam, which means you have the entire city's amenities on your doorstep.

The rent is 24% above the neighbourhood average of €2,785, so it is on the high side. However, this is a brand-new apartment with an A++ energy label and 108 m² of space, which justifies a premium. The median rent in the VU-kwartier is €3,300, so this sits above that too. Whether it is fair depends on how much you value a new-build in a quiet, central location.
The energy label is A++, which is the highest possible rating. This means the home is extremely energy-efficient, with very low heating and electricity costs. You can expect a modern heating system, excellent insulation, and likely triple glazing. It is one of the most efficient homes you can rent in Amsterdam.

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.
