Orteliusbuurt-Noord, Amsterdam

There's a balcony, and the home comes with double glazing and a central heating boiler.

About Jan Evertsenstraat 152-1, Amsterdam
The asking price is €425,000 for an apartment with a living area of around 50 square metres according to the agent, which works out to €8,500 per square metre.

The price reflects the central location and the character of the building.
The apartment has two rooms in total, with one bedroom and one bathroom, all on a single floor.

No, the WOZ value is not available for this listing. The WOZ is the municipal valuation, but it has not been provided here. Without it, there is no official comparison between the asking price and the municipal valuation. The asking price is €425,000, but the WOZ would normally give an indication of the municipal value, which is not stated in this case.
The address-level risk data shows that road traffic noise is at 59 dB Lden, which is above the norm. Rail noise is at 33 dB Lden, and aircraft noise is at 46 dB Lden, both below their respective norms. These are area-level indications based on public data, not a measurement inside the home itself. The noise from road traffic is the main point to consider.
The foundation risk indication is medium for this address. This is based on the fact that the building was constructed before 1970, in 1926, and the KCAF attention area shows that 100% of the properties in this postcode area were built before 1970. This is an area-level indication, not an inspection of this specific home, so it doesn't confirm any actual foundation issues.
The climate risk data shows that pluvial flooding at heavy rain is elevated, while the current flood risk is low and the 2050 flood risk is also low. Heat stress is medium now and is expected to remain medium in 2050. These are area-level indications from the Climate Atlas, not a specific assessment of this property.

How residents experience their municipality
Een hele fijne, rustige buurt met veel groen en geweldige bomen die verkoeling en ontspanning bieden. 's nachts is het er stil en donker. Dat vind ik belangrijk voor de dieren. De buurt is goed bereikbaar met metro 54 en voorzieningen zijn op loopafstand in winkelcentrum de Poort. 1 ding is een ongelofelijke doorn in het oog en dat is de hygiene. Het is dagelijks een puinzoo bij de vuilcontainers. Zwerfafval waait overal naar toe. En hoewel we met een aantal bewoners dagelijks 'prikken' en opruimen is het een never ending story. Ik zou zo graag zien dat daar een oplossing voor komt.

Auto-translated to English by AII lived here for about 12 years. The neighbourhood has clear advantages: good connections by tram, bus and ferry/boat, plenty of supermarkets, gyms and practical amenities nearby. For me, however, there was one major drawback: structural low-frequency noise, demonstrably coming from commercial shipping on the Amsterdam-Rijnkanaal. If you are sensitive to that, it can be very burdensome. In my case, it was clearly noticeable indoors, especially at night. Neighbours said they slept with earplugs and extra insulation offered limited to no solution. The municipality took measurements at the time and acknowledged that the noise was significant, but indicated they could do little or nothing about it because the source fell outside their direct authority. My honest advice: visit this neighbourhood not only during the day, but also in the evening and at night, and pay specific attention to low-frequency humming or vibrations. For people sensitive to noise, I would personally strongly advise against this location.

Auto-translated to English by AINice, quiet and reasonably cosy neighbourhood. Good accessibility, the Amsterdam Forest nearby. Lots of different facilities within walking distance. Nice to live here with a family and pets! Quite a few schools within cycling distance. Hygiene in the neighbourhood is above the average level in Amsterdam. VUmc very close by.
Auto-translated to English by AIAt the end of the Silodam lies the striking MVRDV building. Surrounded by water on all sides. Every apartment has a view of the IJ and/or the Oude Houthaven. The views are therefore phenomenal and every day is different due to the weather. The sunrises and sunsets are unbeatable. Because the building is at the end of the Silodam, there is no through traffic and every person is either a resident or a visitor. This makes it, by Amsterdam standards, an exceptionally safe living environment. There is little turnover. The residents of this building form a close-knit community. A nice mix of families with and without children and single people who help each other where needed. And that too is a special quality in an increasingly transient Amsterdam. Within walking distance are the Haarlemmerdijk and the markets where you can find all the hustle and bustle if you feel like it. On the Silodam there is peace and quiet, a delight for body and mind. The wind, the seagulls, the waves on the IJ, the boats, occasionally a cruise ship, and every 5 years Sail! A little paradise in Amsterdam? Absolutely!
Auto-translated to English by AIBecause we are on the outskirts, there is no through traffic. In the middle of the street a large playground with a table tennis table and a small football pitch. And playground equipment. Behind our house only meadows.
