Erasmusparkbuurt-West, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodThis 122 m² apartment on Gloriantstraat sits in the Erasmusparkbuurt-West neighbourhood, a quiet pocket of Amsterdam West. Built in 1940, it has a D energy label, not the most efficient, so heating costs are something to factor in. At €875,000, the asking price is 65% above the neighbourhood average of €529,927, but the floor area is nearly double the local norm of 63 m², so you're paying for space. For context, apartments in Amsterdam vary widely in price and size.
The neighbourhood Erasmusparkbuurt-West is a dense urban area with a very high address density (8,509 addresses per km²). Most homes are pre-war (85%), and just under half are owner-occupied. The population skews young, over half are between 25 and 45, and many households are single-person. One resident who has lived here for over 15 years calls it a "decent neighbourhood", noting it's always been nice except for the occasional nuisance neighbour. The only downside they mention is the number of homes bought up by landlords and sublet at high rents.
For your morning bread run, Dirk is just around the corner, and Albert Heijn is a couple of streets away. There are several primary schools within a five-minute walk, including Tijl Uilenspiegelschool and Kindcentrum de Vindplaats. The municipality Amsterdam offers all the cultural and recreational options you'd expect from the capital, with a park or public garden just around the corner and a restaurant on your doorstep.

I've lived here for over 15 years and it's always been nice (except for that one idiot living above me, but oh well). The only downside is the number of homes bought up by landlords and then sublet at too high a price.

About Gloriantstraat 2-3, Amsterdam
The asking price is 65% above the neighbourhood average of €529,927, but this apartment is also 94% larger than the typical 63 m² home in the area. The price per m² works out at about €7,172, which is below the neighbourhood average of €8,508 per m². So while the total price is high, you're getting more space for your money compared to other homes in Erasmusparkbuurt-West.
Erasmusparkbuurt-West is a densely built, pre-war area with a young population, over half of residents are between 25 and 45. It's a mix of owner-occupied and rental homes, and one long-term resident describes it as a 'decent neighbourhood' that has remained pleasant over 15 years, aside from some issues with landlord-owned properties being sublet at high rents.
The apartment has an energy label D, which is below the modern standard. In the neighbourhood, over half of homes have a label D or lower, so this is fairly typical for the area. You can expect higher energy bills compared to a more efficient home, but the exact costs depend on usage and the heating system.
There are several primary schools within a five-minute walk, including Tijl Uilenspiegelschool (331 m), Kindcentrum de Vindplaats (424 m), and De Zijderoute (433 m). For secondary education, the nearest school is about 1.5 km away.
The nearest train station is 2.9 km from the apartment. That's about a 35-minute walk or a short bike ride.
In the most recent data, there were 212 total crimes recorded in the neighbourhood. Given the population of about 4,000, that works out to roughly 53 crimes per 1,000 residents, which is moderate for a dense urban area. The resident review mentions it's a 'decent neighbourhood' overall.
