A classic Amsterdam upper maisonette
This 1933 upper maisonette on the Geulstraat sits in the Scheldebuurt-West neighbourhood, a stone's throw from the lively Maasstraat. The home is on the first floor of a classic Amsterdam building, and the street itself is quiet, with mostly local traffic. The asking price of €629,000 is keen compared with the neighbourhood average asking price of €882,305, and it is also below the average price per square metre in the area. For context, apartments in Amsterdam currently average around €9,643 per m².
The home itself
The apartment has three rooms, including two bedrooms and one bathroom, spread over a single floor. The living area is listed as 85 m² according to the BAG registration, while the agent's listing states 74 m². The home has double glazing and a central heating boiler, and the balcony is a welcome outdoor space. It is part of a homeowners' association with a monthly fee of €182.20, and the ground lease has been bought off in perpetuity, so there is no annual ground rent to worry about.
Life in Scheldebuurt-West
Residents of the wider Scheldebuurt district give their living environment an average score of 8.29, based on three reviews. One resident describes it as a "cosy little village" where most people know each other and care about one another, with regular neighbourhood events. Another mentions the pleasant, quiet streets, the proximity to the Beatrixpark and the shopping streets, and the child-friendly atmosphere, though they note the busy traffic on the Scheldestraat can be dangerous. A third resident echoes the praise for the green surroundings and good amenities, but also mentions overflowing rubbish bins. The neighbourhood has around 4,390 inhabitants, and about half of all households are single-person households. The Scheldebuurt-West neighbourhood itself is part of this larger district, and the reviews reflect the district as a whole rather than this specific street.
