Aalsmeerwegbuurt-Oost, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on Hoofddorpplein brings together pre-war charm and a generous 115 m² of living space. The 1928 building sits in a lively part of Amsterdam, with the square's daily bustle just outside the door. At €849,500, the asking price is 33% above the neighbourhood average of €640,500, but the floor area is 64% larger than the typical 70 m² in the area, so you are paying for extra space. For context, this is one of the larger apartments in Amsterdam currently on the market.
The Aalsmeerwegbuurt-Oost is a dense, urban pocket with a strong mix of young professionals and students. With 2,175 residents and a high address density of 6,786 per km², it is very much city living. Most homes are pre-war (92.6% built before 1945), and the area has a youthful feel: the largest age group is 25 to 45. There are no neighbourhood reviews available for this specific street, but the general character is energetic and convenient, with everything you need within walking distance.
Hoofddorpplein itself is a small square with a supermarket, a restaurant and a park just a couple of streets away. For daily groceries, Dirk is on your doorstep, and Albert Heijn is just around the corner. Schools are also close: the SBO Tobiasschool (special primary) is a five-minute walk, and the Oecumenische basisschool Nautilus is about ten minutes away. The neighbourhood falls under the municipality of Amsterdam, so you benefit from all the city's amenities.

About Hoofddorpplein 15-3, Amsterdam
The asking price is 33% above the neighbourhood average of €640,500, but the apartment is also 64% larger than the typical 70 m² in the area.

The energy label is C, which is average for a pre-war apartment. In the neighbourhood, 40.9% of homes have label C, and 18.2% have label A. A C label means the home is reasonably efficient but not as economical as a modern A-rated property. You can expect moderate heating costs, but no extreme bills.
The nearest train station is 2.3 km away, which is about a 25-minute walk or a short cycle. For daily commuting, trams and buses in the area connect to the city centre and other parts of Amsterdam.
The Aalsmeerwegbuurt-Oost has a mix of households: 730 single-person households and 230 households with children.

The neighbourhood recorded 150 total crimes in the latest data. Given the high population density, this is not unusually high for an urban area. The square and surrounding streets are generally busy and well-lit, which contributes to a sense of safety.
The listing does not mention a garden, balcony or terrace. As a pre-war apartment in a dense neighbourhood, it is unlikely to have private outdoor space, but the Vondelpark is just a ten-minute walk away for recreation.
