Jacob Geelbuurt, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on Jacoba Mosselhof is a brand-new build, finished in 2024, and it feels like it. With 104 m² of floor space, it's generously sized for an apartment in Amsterdam. The price of €950,000 is on the high side, it's the most expensive of the 12 apartments currently for sale in the neighbourhood, and 93% above the average asking price of €492,417. That's partly because it's much larger than the typical home here, and partly because it's new. For context, apartments in Amsterdam vary widely, but this one sits at the top end.
Jacob Geelbuurt is a densely populated area (over 4600 addresses per km²) with a mix of housing, mostly flats, but some family homes too. The reviews from residents are mixed. One resident 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', citing nuisance from neighbours and a lack of safety. Based on two reviews, it's clear the area has both fans and critics. The neighbourhood has a high proportion of families with children (495 households) and a relatively young population. For more context, see the Jacob Geelbuurt neighbourhood.
For your daily shopping, a Lidl is just around the corner, and an Albert Heijn is a five-minute walk away. There are also several schools within walking distance: the Comenius Lyceum Amsterdam (secondary) is a couple of streets away, and the Huizingaschool (primary) is just around the corner. A park or public garden is on your doorstep, and a train station is a ten-minute walk away. The area is well served by amenities, with a GP practice, library, and restaurants all within easy reach.

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.

The nearest supermarket is a Lidl at 349 metres, just around the corner. An Albert Heijn is 400 metres away, a five-minute walk. There's also an AH to go at 445 metres and a Dirk at 791 metres. So daily groceries are very convenient.
