NeighbourhoodThis two-bedroom apartment on Hildebrandstraat sits in the lively Borgerbuurt, a multicultural pocket of Amsterdam West. At 53 m² with an energy label B, it's a practical home for someone who wants to be in the thick of it. The asking price of €450,000 is 16% below the neighbourhood average of €536,800, making it a keen entry point compared to other apartments in Amsterdam.
Residents describe the Borgerbuurt as a cosy, mixed neighbourhood. One long-term resident says: "I've lived here for over 40 years, my children grew up here, and I've seen the neighbourhood change, for better and for worse. In terms of safety, I gave it a passing grade, although there could be a bit more lighting here and there; some streets are very dark." Another adds: "Have lived here for over 40 years, seen the neighbourhood grow, very varied with something for everyone. Young and old together." The area is densely populated, with many single-person households and a mix of ages. The neighbourhood Borgerbuurt has a high address density, typical of central Amsterdam.
Daily errands are easy: a SPAR is just around the corner, and an Albert Heijn is a couple of streets away. For school runs, Kindcentrum De Kinkerbuurt is on your doorstep, and Basisschool Het Winterkoninkje is a five-minute walk. The municipality Amsterdam offers plenty of restaurants and a library within walking distance, while Vondelpark is a ten-minute stroll.

I've lived here for over 40 years, my children grew up here, and I've seen the neighbourhood change, for better and for worse. In terms of safety, I gave it a passing grade, although there could be a bit more lighting here and there; some streets are very dark. As for hygiene, I put it down to the residents; if everyone disposes of their rubbish properly, it's fine, but that's not always the case. Then housing: our young people have difficulty finding a home because certain population groups get priority. Accessibility is good for me, but I can imagine that if you're older and they just remove stops, you have trouble getting to your destination. Education is fine, plenty of schools in the area. Also plenty of supermarkets nearby.
