I 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 AIThere are no good places to be outside. The Theo van Gogh park is ugly and not cosy. No nice benches in spots and no things like a gym (chain), coffeeshop or late-night snack bar or the like.
Auto-translated to English by AIvery boring. no nice areas or interesting playgrounds. also no nice seating spots.
Auto-translated to English by AIMany speed bumps, few public transport options.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt is generally quite nice and safe, but there are a few neighbours who can be extremely rude and threatening, and that is very disappointing.
Auto-translated to English by AIThere is neighbourhood prevention, street coaches, etc., the streets are relatively clean, there are some parks and from my house some nature area(-like) is accessible. There are water pumps, playgrounds, rubbish bins. Houses are expensive and there is little public transport, the bridges are annoying.

About Fritz Dietrich Kahlenbergstraat 50A, Amsterdam
At 127 m², that works out to about €17.72 per m², which is slightly below the neighbourhood average of €18.28 per m². The median rent in the area is €2,072, so this is above that, but the apartment is larger than average (129 m² median). Given the A+ energy label and modern build, the price seems reasonable.
