Erasmusparkbuurt-West, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodThis 2008-built apartment on Hoofdweg sits in a lively part of Amsterdam West, with the Erasmuspark just a couple of streets away. At 72 m² it's a comfortable size for a couple or single, and the A+ energy label means very low heating costs, a rarity in this neighbourhood, where none of the current for-sale homes have that label. The asking price of €590,000 is on the high side compared to the neighbourhood average of €529,927, but the modern build and top energy performance justify a premium. For context, apartments in Amsterdam vary widely in price and quality.
The neighbourhood is densely urban, with over 8,500 addresses per km², and mostly consists of flats. It's a young area: over half the residents are between 25 and 45, and many live alone. One resident who has lived here for over 15 years calls it a "decent neighbourhood", noting that the only downside is the number of homes bought up by landlords and sublet at too high a price. The neighbourhood Erasmusparkbuurt-West has a mix of cultures and a lively street life.
For daily groceries, Dirk is just around the corner, and Albert Heijn is a five-minute walk. There are several primary schools within walking distance: Enderun Hisar Amsterdam and Tijl Uilenspiegelschool are both on your doorstep, while Bos en Lommerschool is a couple of streets away. The Erasmuspark is a five-minute walk, perfect for a quick break. The municipality Amsterdam offers all the amenities you'd expect from a major city.
At the time of writing the home is listed via Wester Makelaars B.V. and also appears on other channels.

Very good · 1 resident
I've lived here for over 15 years and 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.

About Hoofdweg 550, Amsterdam
The asking price of €590,000 is above the neighbourhood average of €529,927 and the median of €469,000. However, this apartment is larger (72 m² vs. 63 m² average) and has an A+ energy label, which is exceptional in an area where most homes have older labels. The price per m² (€8,194) is slightly below the neighbourhood average of €8,508, so you're getting more space for your money.
The apartment has an A+ energy label, the highest possible. This means very low energy costs for heating and electricity. In the neighbourhood, none of the current for-sale homes have A+, and over half have labels D or lower, so this is a significant advantage.
