Erasmusparkbuurt-West, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodThis 1939 apartment on Heer Halewijnstraat sits in a lively part of Amsterdam West, where the streets are lined with classic brick buildings and the area buzzes with a young, urban energy. At €475,000 for 53 m², the price is in line with the market, the median in the neighbourhood is €469,000, and the average per m² is €8,508. For a sense of how this compares to other apartments in Amsterdam, the price is competitive without being a steal.
The neighbourhood Erasmusparkbuurt-West is a dense, urban neighbourhood with over 8,500 addresses per km², very strong city living. Most homes are pre-war (85%), and just under half are owner-occupied. The population is young: over half are between 25 and 45, and many live alone (average household size 1.7). One resident who has lived here for over 15 years says: "It's always been nice (except for that one idiot living above me, but oh well). The only downside is the number of homes bought up by landlords and then sublet at too high a price." That's the only review, so take it as one person's view.
For your morning bread, Dirk is just around the corner, and Albert Heijn is a couple of streets away. Two primary schools are within a five-minute walk: Tijl Uilenspiegelschool and Kindcentrum de Vindplaats. The municipality Amsterdam offers everything you'd expect from a major city, with restaurants and a park both on your doorstep. A train station is a ten-minute walk away, and the city centre is easily reachable by bike or tram.
At the time of writing the home is listed via Van Maarschalkerwaart Makelaardij o.g. b.v. and also appears on Funda, so it's available through several channels.

About Heer Halewijnstraat 19H, Amsterdam
The asking price of €475,000 is close to the neighbourhood median of €469,000 and below the average of €529,927. At €8,508 per m², it's in line with the local average. Given that similar homes in the area sell in about 23 days, the price seems realistic for a 53 m² pre-war apartment with an energy label D.
The energy label is D, which is common for a 1939 apartment. It means the home is not particularly energy-efficient, so you can expect higher heating costs compared to a modern home. In the neighbourhood, over half of homes have a label D or lower, so it's typical for the area.
Erasmusparkbuurt-West is very popular with young professionals: over half the residents are between 25 and 45, and most households are single-person. The area is densely built with plenty of cafes, restaurants, and a park nearby. Public transport is good, with a train station 2.9 km away and trams likely within walking distance.
There are several primary schools within a short walk, including Tijl Uilenspiegelschool (293 pupils) and Kindcentrum de Vindplaats (213 pupils), both about 400 m away. For secondary education, the nearest school is 1.5 km away. The area has many schools within 5 km, so options are plentiful.
The neighbourhood recorded 212 total crimes in the latest data, which for a dense urban area with nearly 4,000 residents is moderate. The resident review mentions it's been nice for over 15 years, aside from one noisy neighbour.
Parking in Amsterdam West is typically on-street with permit parking. The listing does not mention a parking spot, so you would likely need to apply for a resident parking permit from the municipality. The area is very walkable and well-served by public transport, so a car may not be essential.
The listing does not mention any specific developments. However, Amsterdam West is a dynamic area with ongoing urban renewal. For the most up-to-date information, you can check the municipality's planning portal. The neighbourhood's pre-war character is protected, so large-scale changes are unlikely.
