Zuidwestkwadrant-Zuid, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodThis two-bedroom apartment on H. Gerhardstraat sits in the Zuidwestkwadrant-Zuid area of Amsterdam, a neighbourhood that feels like a world of its own within the city. Built in 2012 and with an A energy label, it's efficient and contemporary. At €365,000, the asking price is 21% below the neighbourhood average of €461,889, which makes it a keen option compared to other apartments in Amsterdam.
Based on four reviews, residents describe the neighbourhood as adequate and family-friendly, with plenty of playgrounds and supermarkets like Albert Heijn and Jumbo within walking distance. One resident notes: "Hardly any Dutch shops... mostly Muslim. On Tussenmeer 85 there is a squatter's pro-Palestine building... while everything is being done in the neighbourhood to make it nice. The building is full of Palestine flags and hate texts. We want more Dutch shops... For the rest... nice area for walking and cycling." Another says: "Adequate/average (not bad, but not fantastic either. Just normal), it's not the best, but no neighbourhood is; things can always change/improve." The neighbourhood Zuidwestkwadrant-Zuid is densely populated with many families and young adults, and the area has a very strong urban feel.
For your morning bread, Albert Heijn is just around the corner, and Dirk and Jumbo are a couple of streets away. There are several schools nearby: Basisschool de Wereldburger is on your doorstep, and the Osdorpse Montessori School is a short walk. For secondary education, the Calandlyceum is a five-minute walk. The municipality Amsterdam offers all the amenities you'd expect from a major city, with parks and restaurants close by.
At the time of writing, the home is listed through several channels, including Evim Makelaars B.V. and Vastgoed Nederland.

Hardly any Dutch shops... mostly Muslim. On Tussenmeer 85 there is a squatter's pro-Palestine building... while everything is being done in the neighbourhood to make it nice. The building is full of Palestine flags and hate texts. We want more Dutch shops... For the rest... nice area for walking and cycling. The city is accessible from all sides and everything is well reachable. All shops are present.
Auto-translated to English by AIAdequate/average (not bad, but not fantastic either. Just normal), it's not the best, but no neighbourhood is; things can always change/improve. Plenty of educational opportunities, supermarkets like Albert Heijn and Jumbo, a bit further (15 minutes walk) there's also the centre with all sorts of other amenities such as shops, supermarkets, ice cream shops, restaurants, etc. Many playgrounds, so really family-friendly. However, I must admit that there is little parking space, possibly due to these amenities. Hygiene could also be better; there is often some rubbish on the ground that doesn't belong there, like cans etc. Housing: there are many homes and houses in the neighbourhood, also with private and shared garages, so really great.
Auto-translated to English by AIThere are so often bombs and explosions. And a lot of rubbish thrown on the ground. Constant arguments. Many young people with fitbikes. Almost got run over.
Auto-translated to English by AIVaried. I can't describe it with one word because in some areas it differs greatly from another. One aspect is simply a bit less good, for example there is very little parking space. Other areas are really great, everything is nearby, much is within walking distance, think schools, supermarkets, city centre, restaurants etc. That there is little greenery is not surprising when you live in a neighbourhood. Hygiene could also be better in my opinion, there are many things always on the street while there is a bin just 1 metre away.

About H. Gerhardstraat 130, Amsterdam
The asking price is 21% below the average asking price in the neighbourhood (€461,889) and also below the median of €400,000. Given the 58 m² floor area, the price per m² works out to about €6,293, which is slightly above the neighbourhood average of €5,658 per m². So it's priced keenly overall, but the smaller size means a higher per-square-metre cost.
