Zuidwestkwadrant-Zuid, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodThis 115 m² apartment on H. Gerhardstraat sits in the Zuidwestkwadrant-Zuid neighbourhood, a part of Amsterdam that feels more suburban than city-centre. Built in 2012 and with energy label A, it's a modern, efficient home. The asking price of €625,000 is on the high side compared to the neighbourhood average of €461,889, but the floor area is 32% larger than the typical 87 m² in the area. For context, see other apartments in Amsterdam.
Zuidwestkwadrant-Zuid is home to about 6,200 people, with a mix of families and singles. It's a very urban area (address density 4,584 per km²), yet it has many playgrounds and is described as family-friendly. Based on four reviews, opinions vary. One resident calls it "Adequate/average" and notes "plenty of educational opportunities, supermarkets like Albert Heijn and Jumbo" and "many playgrounds, so really family-friendly." Another says: "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." A third review mentions "so often bombs and explosions. And a lot of rubbish thrown on the ground." So it's a neighbourhood with contrasts. For more, see the neighbourhood Zuidwestkwadrant-Zuid.
For your morning bread, Albert Heijn is just around the corner, and Dirk and Jumbo are a couple of streets away. There's also an AH XL and Lidl within a ten-minute walk. Schools are close: Basisschool de Wereldburger is on your doorstep, the Osdorpse Montessori School is just around the corner, and the Calandlyceum (secondary) is a couple of streets away. The neighbourhood has a park or garden within a couple of streets away, and a restaurant is on your doorstep. For a train, you'd need to travel about 4 km. This is all within the municipality Amsterdam.
At the time of writing, the home is listed via Mooijekind Vleut Makelaars Amsterdam and also appears on Funda, so it's available through several channels.

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 78, Amsterdam
The asking price is 35% above the neighbourhood average of €461,889, but the apartment is also 32% larger than the typical 87 m² in the area. Given the modern build (2012) and energy label A, the price reflects the extra space and efficiency. Whether it's fair depends on how much you value a larger, newer home in this part of Amsterdam.
