Minervabuurt-Noord, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodThis 120 m² apartment on Gerrit van der Veenstraat sits in the heart of the Apollobuurt, a neighbourhood known for its stately architecture and quiet, tree-lined streets. Built in 1928, the home has a C energy label, typical for a pre-war property, so heating costs are something to factor in. At €1,295,000, the asking price is 22% below the neighbourhood average of €1,658,063, making it a keen entry point for this area. For context, apartments in Amsterdam vary widely, but this one stands out for its value.
The neighbourhood Minervabuurt-Noord is a pocket of calm within the city. With 1,470 residents, it's a mix of families and older couples, nearly half the households have children. The streets are safe (153 total crimes recorded) and the vibe is residential rather than touristy. No resident reviews are available for this street, but the area is known for its wide pavements and proximity to the Vondelpark, which is just a couple of streets away.
For your morning bread, Albert Heijn is just around the corner, and Ekoplaza is a five-minute walk for organic goods. Three primary schools, including the 2e Daltonschool Pieter Bakkum and De Amsterdamse Montessori School, are all within a couple of streets away, making the school run a doddle. Het Amsterdams Lyceum for secondary education is also a five-minute walk. The municipality Amsterdam offers all the cultural perks you'd expect, but here you're far enough from the bustle to enjoy peace.

About Gerrit van der Veenstraat 124H, Amsterdam
The asking price is 22% below the average asking price in Minervabuurt-Noord (€1,658,063) and also below the median of €1,575,000. Given the 120 m² floor area and pre-war character, it's priced keenly compared to other apartments in the neighbourhood.
