Spaarndammerbuurt-Zuidoost, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on Houtmankade sits in the lively Spaarndammerbuurt-Zuidoost, a neighbourhood where the city's creative energy meets early 20th-century architecture. At 48 m², it's compact but well-proportioned, with an E energy label that means heating costs will be something to factor in. The asking price of €730,000 is on the high side compared to other apartments in Amsterdam.
This is a dense, urban pocket with over 7,400 addresses per km², very much city living. The population skews young: lots of 25-45 year olds, many single-person households. There are no reviews from residents in the data, but the neighbourhood has a strong sense of community with its own shops and cafes. The neighbourhood Spaarndammerbuurt-Zuidoost is part of the wider Spaarndammerbuurt, known for its distinctive Amsterdam School housing.
For daily groceries, Albert Heijn is just around the corner, with Jumbo and Ekoplaza a couple of streets away. There are several primary schools within a five-minute walk, including De Zeeheld and Basisschool Westerpark. A park or public garden is on your doorstep, and a restaurant is just around the corner. The municipality Amsterdam offers all the cultural and transport links you'd expect from the capital.
At the time of writing the home is listed via Van de Steege Makelaarsgroep Amsterdam-West and also appears on Funda.

About Houtmankade 74-3, Amsterdam
At €15,208 per m², this apartment is priced above the average for the neighbourhood, though exact market data for this specific street isn't available. The compact size and E energy label mean running costs could be higher than in a more efficient home. It's worth comparing with similar apartments in the Spaarndammerbuurt to see how the price stacks up.
Energy label E indicates the home is not very energy-efficient, so you can expect higher heating and electricity costs compared to a home with a better label. The building dates from 1911, so it may have single glazing or poor insulation. You'll want to budget for energy bills accordingly.
The nearest train station is 2.5 km away, which is about a 30-minute walk or a short bus ride. Amsterdam's central stations are well connected, but daily commuting by train would require a bike or public transport to reach the station.
There are several primary schools within a five-minute walk, including De Zeeheld (448 m) and Basisschool Westerpark (454 m). Montessori Basisschool de Eilanden is also close by. For secondary education, the nearest school is about 1.2 km away. The area has a good selection of schools, but you'd need to check individual ratings.
The neighbourhood recorded 46 total crimes in the latest data, which for a dense urban area is moderate. The area has a young, active population.
A park or public garden is just 0.2 km away, so green space is on your doorstep. The neighbourhood is close to the Westerpark area, which offers larger parks and recreational facilities. For daily walks or jogging, you won't have to go far.
