A new apartment on the northern IJ banks
This apartment sits in Buiksloterham-Zuid, a young district on the northern edge of Amsterdam where the city is still taking shape. The area is very strongly urban, with a high address density, and the mix of new housing and working harbour gives it a distinctive, unfinished energy. At €1,995,000 the asking price is on the high side, roughly 66% above the average asking price in the neighbourhood, and the price per square metre of €11,083 reflects that premium. For context, [apartments in Amsterdam] vary widely, but this one sits clearly at the upper end of the local market.

Built in 2025, this is a brand-new apartment with an A+ energy label, which is an efficient label. The agent describes it as a four-room home with three bedrooms and two bathrooms spread over two floors, with a volume of 708 cubic metres. The living area is given as 180 square metres in the agent's listing, while the BAG registration records 162 square metres. The home is offered through multiple channels, so you can compare how different agents present the same property.
Life in Buiksloterham-Zuid
Residents of the wider district give it an average score of 7.78, based on five reviews. One resident says: "It's a very nice neighbourhood, just a shame that the nearest supermarket is so small and therefore doesn't have everything." Another adds: "It's a nice neighbourhood to grow up in, but it's a shame there's no large supermarket nearby; you have to take your bike for that, about a 7-minute ride." A third resident, living on Hetty Blokstraat, says: "I think it's a great neighbourhood. With nice people and beautiful energy-efficient houses. The public transport connections are unfortunately not great. But since this is a new district, I think that will change." The neighbourhood itself has 1,725 residents, and most households are single-person. These reviews describe the district rather than this specific neighbourhood, so they give a sense of the wider area. [The Buiksloterham-Zuid neighbourhood] is still developing, and the local housing stock is entirely built after 2010.
