VU-kwartier, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on Florence Pricehof feels like a fresh start, it's part of a 2025 development, so everything is new and unused. The VU-kwartier is a calm, green pocket within the busy Zuidas district, popular with professionals and students. At €3,300 per month for 103 m², the price is in line with the market, similar apartments in the neighbourhood rent for around €3,450. For context, apartments in Amsterdam average €31.98 per m², so this one is fairly priced.
The VU-kwartier is a small, quiet neighbourhood with only 175 residents, mostly young professionals, 60% are between 25 and 45. It's a very urban area (address density 2,816 per km²), yet it feels peaceful because it's tucked away near the VU campus and the Amsterdamse Bos. There are no resident reviews available, so this description is based on CBS data. The neighbourhood has few families and many single-person households, giving it a calm, studious atmosphere. The VU-kwartier neighbourhood is well-connected but not bustling.
Your daily bread run is easy: Albert Heijn is just around the corner, and there's an AH to go even closer. For primary schools, the Tweede Openluchtschool voor het Gezonde Kind is a five-minute walk away, and the Geert Groote College for secondary education is also within walking distance. The nearest GP is 500 m away, and the train station is a ten-minute walk. The area is well served by restaurants and a park within a couple of streets. The municipality of Amsterdam offers all the amenities you'd expect from a major city.

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.
