Jacob Geelbuurt, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on Jacoba Mosselhof is part of a recently completed development, so everything is fresh and modern. The home is in the Jacob Geelbuurt, a neighbourhood in the west of the city that is still finding its feet. With an asking price of €500,000, it sits slightly above the average for apartments in this area, but the new build and top energy label help explain that. For context, you can compare it with other apartments in Amsterdam.
The Jacob Geelbuurt has around 3,000 residents and a mix of housing, though most homes are flats. Two residents have shared their experiences. 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 it as a "restless neighbourhood with many unstable families," adding that "there are genuinely friendly people, but due to the decline of this neighbourhood, you see/sense that people live on islands." The neighbourhood has a high density of addresses, typical of a very strongly urban area. For more on the area, see the neighbourhood Jacob Geelbuurt.
For your daily shopping, you have a Lidl just around the corner and an Albert Heijn a couple of streets away. The Comenius Lyceum Amsterdam is on your doorstep, and the Huizingaschool primary school is also within a few minutes' walk. A park or garden is just around the corner, and a restaurant is equally close. The municipality Amsterdam offers all the amenities you would expect from a major city.
At the time of writing, the home is listed through several channels, including Hallie & Van Klooster Makelaardij 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.

About Jacoba Mosselhof 11, Amsterdam
The asking price of €500,000 is above the average sale price in the Jacob Geelbuurt (€431,970) and above the median asking price (€412,500). However, this is a brand-new apartment (built in 2024) with an A+++ energy label, which commands a premium. The average price per square metre for apartments in the neighbourhood is €7,199, and this home works out at about €7,462 per m², so it is on the high side but in line with the quality.
This apartment has an energy label of A+++, which is the highest possible rating. That means it is extremely energy-efficient, so you can expect low heating and electricity costs. In the Jacob Geelbuurt, about a third of homes have an A+ label, another third have a C label, and the rest are D or lower. This home is among the most efficient in the area.
The nearest train station is 1.5 km away, which is about a 15,20 minute walk. The neighbourhood is very densely built-up, so public transport options are generally good in this part of Amsterdam.
The Jacob Geelbuurt has a mix of households: about 495 households with children and 700 single-person households. There are several schools nearby, including a primary school (Huizingaschool) just a couple of streets away and a secondary school (Comenius Lyceum) on your doorstep. However, resident reviews mention nuisance and a lack of social cohesion, so it is worth visiting the area to see if it suits you.
There are currently 12 apartments for sale in the Jacob Geelbuurt, with prices ranging from €325,000 to €950,000. The average asking price is €492,417, so this home at €500,000 is slightly above average. The median asking price is €412,500, meaning many apartments are cheaper, but they are likely older or less efficient.
The neighbourhood recorded 290 total crimes in the latest data. That is a relatively high number for a neighbourhood of this size, but it is important to note that crime figures can vary by street. One resident mentioned feeling unsafe due to neighbour nuisance and aggressive behaviour.
