Wittenburg, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodThis 113 m² apartment on Jacob Burggraafstraat sits in a quiet corner of the Oostelijke Eilanden, with water views and a sunny balcony. Built in 2004 and carrying an A+ energy label, it's efficient and modern. At €669,500, the asking price matches the neighbourhood median exactly, which is a fair reflection of the market for apartments in Amsterdam.
Wittenburg is one of the three Oostelijke Eilanden, with a mix of historic warehouses and newer developments. It's densely urban (5,415 addresses per km²) but feels surprisingly calm. One resident calls it a "nice neighbourhood with shortcomings", noting that the municipality could do more on cleaning and dog policy. Another describes it as "picturesque" with "many open spaces where you can drink coffee" and a strong sense of community, "neighbourhood parties bring us together", says a third. The neighbourhood Wittenburg is popular with singles and couples, and the average household size is just 1.6.
For your morning bread, Albert Heijn is just around the corner, and Vomar is a couple of streets away. The Alan Turingschool is a five-minute walk, and Basisschool Oostelijke Eilanden is also within easy reach. The municipality Amsterdam keeps the area well connected, with a train station a ten-minute walk away and plenty of restaurants and cafés nearby.
At the time of writing the home is listed via Keij & Stefels B.V. and also appears on Funda, so you have a couple of channels to follow up.

I have nice neighbours and the neighbourhood is nice. The municipality falls short on cleaning, here and in the rest of Amsterdam. The dog policy is not respected at all here and also not enforced!!! My only unpleasant experience here in the neighbourhood was not really properly resolved by the police.... I don't miss the quay and find it a pity that the municipality makes the houseboat policy so ridiculously complicated.
Auto-translated to English by AIVery nice pleasant rural greetings and you too enjoy their flowers many open spaces where you can drink coffee eat and super nice neighbourhood surroundings with water as a tourist attraction and transport. The neighbours greet the same tourists chat and ask about streets neighbourhood museums. With maritime museum also weekend visitors from other neighbourhoods tell about when they were here friends with people who are already gone. Not easy to park sometimes very busy on the road and with a shop downstairs parking spaces are if you pay. Otherwise very busy when police drive you hear the beautiful church bells children with their school teachers walking. It is picturesque sometimes you find painters with their materials. I moved a few months ago I live better because I have more air and space. Many birds nothing for nothing this neighbourhood is called the Amazon of Europe.
Auto-translated to English by AIThe neighbourhood here is nice and child-friendly, there are 2 playgrounds nearby and they are big, also there are plenty of shops in the area and it is a nice neighbourhood.

About Jacob Burggraafstraat 114, Amsterdam
The asking price is exactly the neighbourhood median, which suggests it's in line with the market. The average price per m² in Wittenburg is €7,866, and this home is 113 m², so the price per m² works out slightly below that average. Given the A+ energy label and modern build, it's a reasonable asking price.
Wittenburg is a densely populated but friendly island neighbourhood. Residents appreciate the community feel, with neighbourhood parties and a picturesque setting by the water. Some note that parking can be tricky and that the municipality could improve cleaning. It's a mix of families, singles and older residents, with two playgrounds nearby.
The apartment has an A+ energy label, which is the highest rating. That means very low energy costs and a warm, well-insulated home. In the neighbourhood, about 23% of homes have an A or A+ label, so this one is among the most efficient.
The Alan Turingschool is just 151 metres away, a two-minute walk. Basisschool Oostelijke Eilanden is about 524 metres, and there are several other primary schools within a kilometre. For secondary education, Montessori Lyceum Pax is about a kilometre away.
The nearest train station is 1.9 km away, which is about a 20-minute walk or a short bike ride.
Parking in Wittenburg can be busy, as residents mention. The home does not come with a private parking spot, so you would need to rely on street parking, which may require a permit. The exact parking situation is not detailed in the listing.
