Westlandgrachtbuurt, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodThis 75 m² apartment on the Heemstedestraat sits in the Westlandgrachtbuurt, a calm residential corner of the Hoofddorppleinbuurt. The home dates from 1928 and has energy label B, so it's both characterful and reasonably efficient. At €599,000, the asking price is bang in line with the neighbourhood median of €595,000, making it a fair proposition compared to other apartments in Amsterdam.
The Westlandgrachtbuurt feels like a village within the city. One resident describes it as 'cosy, quiet & familiar', noting that many elderly people, families and starters live here, which creates a nice bustle on the street. The area scores an 8 out of 10 from that single review. CBS figures show a mix of ages, with a large share of 25-45 year olds and a good number of families with children. The neighbourhood Westlandgrachtbuurt is highly urban (over 7,200 addresses per km²), yet it's close to two parks: Vondelpark and Rembrandtpark, both just a few minutes' walk away.
For your morning bread, Dirk is just around the corner, and Albert Heijn is a couple of streets away. There are several primary schools within a five-minute walk, including Oecumenische basisschool Nautilus and Cultuurprofielschool De Notenkraker. Secondary education is also nearby, with the Tobiasschool VMBO just a couple of streets away. The municipality Amsterdam offers all the cultural and leisure options you'd expect from the capital, but here you can also enjoy the peace of a residential street.
At the time of writing, the home is listed through several channels, including PB Makelaars o.z. and Funda.

Very good · 1 resident
I've been living in this neighbourhood for almost a year now. I find it very pleasant, quiet & familiar. Many elderly people, families with kids, and starters live here, which makes you feel at home right away and there's some nice bustle on the street. Accessibility is fine; bus/tram station within walking distance & there's a metro station nearby. You're close to two parks: Vondelpark & Rembrandtpark, which is nice for the green surroundings. There are plenty of schools in the area for kids. Supermarkets, shops, restaurants within walking distance. It would be nice if some bakeries or more shops came to the neighbourhood, so it becomes even cosier and easier to stay in your own neighbourhood. Sports facilities are also nearby, which is very pleasant; I make good use of them. I have never felt unsafe for a moment; I feel that there are no people wandering around the neighbourhood who have no business being here.
