About Graaf Florisstraat 11-2, Amsterdam
The rent is 19% above the neighbourhood average of €2,353, which makes it on the high side for the area. The apartment is 52 m², which is 37% smaller than the neighbourhood average of 83 m². So you're paying a premium for a smaller-than-average space, though the location along the Amstel and the classic Amsterdam architecture may justify that for some.
The agent has not published this information, so it is not possible to say how energy-efficient the home is or what the heating costs might be.
The nearest train station is 1.2 km away, which is roughly a fifteen-minute walk. This makes it reasonably convenient for commuting to other parts of Amsterdam or further afield, though you'd likely rely on a bike or public transport for the last stretch.
The neighbourhood has a young, urban demographic, with 46% of residents aged between 25 and 45. Over half of households are single-person, so it's a mix of young professionals and students. One resident notes that people along the Amstel are friendly, though they mention some safety concerns near a local school, so it's a mixed picture.
Yes, there are several schools within walking distance. Cygnus Gymnasium, a secondary school, is just under 300 metres away, and the 4e Montessorischool de Pinksterbloem, a primary school, is about 400 metres away. There are also other secondary options like Orion College Amstel and Kiem Montessori within a short walk.
Homes in this neighbourhood are rented out on average within 21 days, according to recent data. That suggests there's steady demand for rental properties here, so if you're interested, it's worth being prepared to move fairly quickly.
Homecrew Makelaars has published only the street and price on the listing platforms. No other details are missing, so the location and neighbourhood information is accurate.

Along the Amstel there are friendly people, behind Cygnus the school I was almost robbed a couple of times by boys, but otherwise fine.

How residents experience their municipality
Een hele fijne, rustige buurt met veel groen en geweldige bomen die verkoeling en ontspanning bieden. 's nachts is het er stil en donker. Dat vind ik belangrijk voor de dieren. De buurt is goed bereikbaar met metro 54 en voorzieningen zijn op loopafstand in winkelcentrum de Poort. 1 ding is een ongelofelijke doorn in het oog en dat is de hygiene. Het is dagelijks een puinzoo bij de vuilcontainers. Zwerfafval waait overal naar toe. En hoewel we met een aantal bewoners dagelijks 'prikken' en opruimen is het een never ending story. Ik zou zo graag zien dat daar een oplossing voor komt.

Auto-translated to English by AII 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 AINice, quiet and reasonably cosy neighbourhood. Good accessibility, the Amsterdam Forest nearby. Lots of different facilities within walking distance. Nice to live here with a family and pets! Quite a few schools within cycling distance. Hygiene in the neighbourhood is above the average level in Amsterdam. VUmc very close by.
Auto-translated to English by AIAt the end of the Silodam lies the striking MVRDV building. Surrounded by water on all sides. Every apartment has a view of the IJ and/or the Oude Houthaven. The views are therefore phenomenal and every day is different due to the weather. The sunrises and sunsets are unbeatable. Because the building is at the end of the Silodam, there is no through traffic and every person is either a resident or a visitor. This makes it, by Amsterdam standards, an exceptionally safe living environment. There is little turnover. The residents of this building form a close-knit community. A nice mix of families with and without children and single people who help each other where needed. And that too is a special quality in an increasingly transient Amsterdam. Within walking distance are the Haarlemmerdijk and the markets where you can find all the hustle and bustle if you feel like it. On the Silodam there is peace and quiet, a delight for body and mind. The wind, the seagulls, the waves on the IJ, the boats, occasionally a cruise ship, and every 5 years Sail! A little paradise in Amsterdam? Absolutely!
Auto-translated to English by AIBecause we are on the outskirts, there is no through traffic. In the middle of the street a large playground with a table tennis table and a small football pitch. And playground equipment. Behind our house only meadows.
