Centrumeiland, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodThis two-bedroom apartment on Gamerenstraat 54 is part of a brand-new development on Centrumeiland, one of Amsterdam's youngest neighbourhoods. With an energy label A+++, it's as efficient as they come, think low heating bills and a warm home without the guilt. At €400,000, it's the cheapest of the 19 apartments currently for sale in the area and sits 45% below the neighbourhood average asking price of €722,737. That makes it a notably keen entry point into this part of the city, especially when you compare it to other apartments in Amsterdam.
Centrumeiland is a relatively new island neighbourhood in IJburg, built from scratch in the last decade. With 1,130 residents, it feels spacious and calm. One resident describes it as 'cosy', adding: 'Everyone is friendly and children can play outside without any danger.' That single review sums up the atmosphere: safe, sociable, and geared towards families. The area is dominated by modern architecture, and almost all homes were built after 2010. The neighbourhood Centrumeiland is a place where you'll see kids cycling to school and neighbours chatting on the street.
For your morning loaf, Dekamarkt is just around the corner, a five-minute walk. For a bigger shop, Lidl and AH XL are a ten-minute walk away. There are several primary schools within walking distance: De Schatkaart is on your doorstep, Laterna Magica a couple of streets away, and De Poseidon and Basisschool de Archipel both a five-minute walk. For secondary education, Montessori Lyceum Terra Nova is a ten-minute walk. The municipality Amsterdam has invested heavily in this area, so you'll find parks, a library, and restaurants all within easy reach.
At the time of writing, the home is listed through several channels, including Ilona Wolthuis Makelaardij and Funda. It's one of the most affordable options in the neighbourhood, so it's worth a look if you're after a modern, energy-efficient home on Amsterdam's newest island.

About Gamerenstraat 54, Amsterdam
Yes, it's notably keen. The apartment is the cheapest of the 19 homes currently for sale in Centrumeiland, and its asking price is 45% below the neighbourhood average of €722,737. However, the floor area (56 m²) is also smaller than the average (122 m²), so the price per square metre is in line with the market. For a brand-new, energy-efficient home in Amsterdam, this is a competitive entry point.
The energy label is A+++, the highest possible rating. This means the home is extremely energy-efficient, with excellent insulation and likely a heat pump or solar panels. Your heating and electricity bills will be very low, and the home has a minimal environmental footprint. In Centrumeiland, 86.4% of homes have label A+ or better, so this is the norm here.
The nearest train station is 5.7 km away. That's about a 15-minute bike ride or a short bus trip. The area is well-connected by tram and bus lines to Amsterdam Centraal and other parts of the city, so commuting is straightforward.
