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.

About Hillegomstraat 21-1, Amsterdam
The asking price is 28% below the neighbourhood average of €678,960, which makes it keenly priced. However, the flat is also 32% smaller than the average home in the area (46 m² vs 68 m²). The price per m² works out at about €10,652, which is slightly above the neighbourhood average of €10,223. So while the total price is low, you're paying a bit more per square metre.
The energy label is D. In the neighbourhood, 23.8% of homes have a label D or lower, while 62% are rated B or better. A D label means the home is not the most efficient, you can expect higher energy costs compared to a modern, well-insulated property. It's worth factoring that into your monthly budget.
The resident review mentions many families with kids and elderly people, giving a 'quiet & familiar' feel. There are several primary schools within walking distance, like Oecumenische basisschool Nautilus (361 m) and Brede school Fiep Westendorp (726 m). The area has 410 households with children out of 1,000 total, so it's a mixed but family-friendly community.
Bus and tram stops are within walking distance, the resident says 'bus/tram station within walking distance'. There's also a metro station nearby.
