Jacob Geelbuurt, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on Isaak Gosseshof sits in a post-war neighbourhood where the streets are quiet and the buildings are low-rise. At 64 m² with an energy label C, it is a practical home for someone starting out or downsizing. The asking price of €395,000 is keen compared to the neighbourhood average of €492,417, making it one of the more affordable apartments in Amsterdam.
The Jacob Geelbuurt neighbourhood is a densely built area with a mix of families and single-person households. Two residents have shared their experiences: one gives it a 7.2 and says 'for the rest I'm just very rich as a student', while another describes it as a 'restless neighbourhood with many unstable families' and mentions feeling powerless against nuisance. The area has a high crime rate, with 290 incidents reported, and a low homeownership rate of 7%, so most people rent.
For daily shopping, the Lidl is just around the corner and the Albert Heijn is a five-minute walk. There are several schools nearby: the Huizingaschool for primary education is a couple of streets away, and the Comenius Lyceum Amsterdam for secondary education is also within walking distance. The train station is a ten-minute walk, and a park is on your doorstep.
At present the home is listed through several channels, including De Huizenbemiddelaar Amsterdam-Almere-Lelystad and Funda.

I said it already
Auto-translated to English by AIPartly due to nuisance from next-door neighbours (which borders on harassing behaviour), I feel powerless against negative behaviour and intimidation from others. There are genuinely friendly people, but due to the decline of this neighbourhood, you see/sense that people live on islands. Little genuine involvement or social behaviour from others, little empathy or taking responsibility for one's own behaviour, aggression/aggressive behaviour, and that makes the living environment (also indoors) offer little to no safety. I write from daily experience and it is sickening. The housing shortage and rules offer no other escape options. Very sad.
