VU-kwartier, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on Florence Pricehof is part of a very recent development, completed in 2025. The VU-kwartier is a calm, green pocket of the city, and the home sits on a peaceful street. At €3,300 per month, the rent is in line with the average for apartments in Amsterdam.
With only 175 residents, the VU-kwartier is a small, quiet neighbourhood. Most households are single people, and the average age skews towards 25,45. The area feels residential and safe. There are no resident reviews available for this neighbourhood, so the picture comes from the statistics: a low number of families, a high proportion of singles, and a very high address density (2,816 addresses per km²) that reflects its urban setting. The VU-kwartier neighbourhood is part of the Zuidas district.
Daily errands are easy: the nearest Albert Heijn is just around the corner, and there are several other supermarkets within a couple of streets away. For primary education, the Tweede Openluchtschool voor het Gezonde Kind is a five-minute walk, and the Geert Groote College for secondary education is similarly close. A restaurant is on your doorstep, and a park or garden is just around the corner. The area is well served by public transport, with a train station a ten-minute walk away. The municipality of Amsterdam offers all the amenities you would expect from a major city.
At the time of writing, the home is listed through several channels, including Eefje Voogd Makelaardij and Savills Asset & Property Management B.V.

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.
