Jacob Geelbuurt, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodThis 2024-built apartment on Jacob Geelstraat is a fresh start in a neighbourhood that's still finding its feet. With an A+++ energy label, it's as efficient as they come. At 50 m², it's 25% smaller than the local average, and the asking price of €425,000 is in line with the market for apartments in Amsterdam.
The Jacob Geelbuurt neighbourhood is densely built and very urban, with over 4600 addresses per km². Based on two reviews, residents have mixed feelings. One says: "it's a 7.2 in total and yes what else actually? for the rest I'm just very rich as a student l." Another describes a "restless neighbourhood with many unstable families" and mentions feeling powerless against nuisance. The area has a high proportion of families with children and a young population, with average incomes.
For your morning bread, Lidl is just around the corner, and Albert Heijn is a couple of streets away. The Comenius Lyceum Amsterdam is on your doorstep for secondary education, while Huizingaschool primary school is a five-minute walk. A park or public garden is just around the corner, and the train station is a ten-minute walk. All this falls within the municipality of Amsterdam.
At the time of writing the home is listed only via LDB Makelaardij.

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.

About Jacob Geelstraat 23, Amsterdam
The asking price of €425,000 is close to the neighbourhood median of €412,500 and below the average of €492,417. Given that the apartment is 25% smaller than the local average (50 m² vs 67 m²), the price per m² works out at €8,500, which is above the neighbourhood average of €7,199 per m². So it's priced on the high side for its size, but the brand-new build and top energy label add value.
The energy label is A+++, the highest possible rating. This means the apartment is extremely energy-efficient, with very low heating and electricity costs. In the neighbourhood, only 33% of homes have an A+ label or better, so this is a standout feature.
The nearest train station is 1.5 km away, which is about a ten-minute walk. That's convenient for commuting to the city centre or other parts of the region.
Lidl is 415 metres away, just around the corner. Albert Heijn is 465 metres away, also a short walk. For a wider selection, Dirk is 745 metres away.
