Van Tuyllbuurt, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodThis 1930s apartment on Hectorstraat sits in the Van Tuyllbuurt, a pocket of peace within the city. At 77 m² with an energy label C, it's a solid, characterful home. The asking price of €750,000 is on the high side compared to the neighbourhood average of €733,774, but reflects the quality and location. For context, apartments in Amsterdam vary widely in price and size.
One resident sums it up: "Lovely, nice and cosy neighbourhood in Amsterdam. Always tidy and a bit of peace in the city. Very child-friendly!" Based on that single review, the neighbourhood Van Tuyllbuurt scores a perfect 10. The area is densely urban (over 4,700 addresses per km²), yet feels residential. Most homes are pre-war, and the population skews young, nearly half are between 25 and 45. It's a neighbourhood where you'll find families and singles alike, with a strong sense of community.
For your morning bread, Albert Heijn is just around the corner, with Ekoplaza a couple of streets away. The Spinoza Lyceum Amsterdam is a five-minute walk for secondary school, while the Olympiaschool for primary education is even closer. The municipality Amsterdam offers all the cultural and recreational options you'd expect from the capital, yet here you're a ten-minute walk from a park or plantsoen. A train station is a ten-minute walk away, and restaurants are on your doorstep.

Given the 77 m² size, the price per m² works out to about €9,740, which is a bit higher than the neighbourhood average of €9,415. It's on the high side, but the apartment's pre-war character and quiet location may justify the premium.

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.
