Diamantbuurt, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodThis first-floor apartment on Jan Lievensstraat sits in the lively Diamantbuurt, a stone's throw from the Albert Cuypmarkt. With 51 m² and an energy label D, it's a compact but characterful home in a much-loved part of the city. The asking price of €599,000 is in line with the market, where the average price per m² in the neighbourhood is €9,989. For context, apartments in Amsterdam vary widely, but this one reflects the typical price level for a flat of this size in the area.
The Diamantbuurt is a dense, inner-city area with a very strong urban feel (over 10,000 addresses per km²). It's home to around 3,000 residents, many living alone (about 1,000 one-person households). Based on three reviews, opinions are mixed: one resident says, "Very nice neighbourhood. Residents are very friendly, communicative and good at cooperating. We did many activities in the summer, in the community centre and with outings." Another, however, notes, "I've lived here for more than ten years and I think there are few parking spaces here and the neighbours are very rude." The neighbourhood Diamantbuurt is known for its pre-war housing stock (93% built before 1945) and a lively street scene.
For your morning bread, an Albert Heijn is just around the corner, and another is a couple of streets away. Schools are close: the Berlage Lyceum (secondary) is a five-minute walk, and the 3e Daltonschool Alberdingk Thijm (primary) is about the same distance. The neighbourhood has a high density of amenities, with a restaurant, library and park all within a ten-minute walk. The municipality Amsterdam offers a dense network of services, making daily errands easy on foot or by bike.

Very nice neighbourhood. Residents are very friendly, communicative and good at cooperating. We did many activities in the summer, in the community centre and with outings. It's just that my home is small for us. Otherwise I would never want to move. I would like to continue living in this home. (Willem Passtoorstraat 36C, 1073 HZ. Amsterdam.)

About Jan Lievensstraat 23, Amsterdam
The asking price of €599,000 is close to the neighbourhood average of €575,615 and the median of €575,000. At €9,989 per m², it's slightly above the average for the area, but given the central location and classic Amsterdam architecture, it's in line with the market.
Energy label D is average for a 1925 apartment. It means the home is not as efficient as modern builds, so heating costs will be moderate. In the Diamantbuurt, 38.5% of homes have label D or lower, so this is typical for the area.
The nearest train station is 1.4 km away, about a 15-minute walk. This gives you access to the national rail network, though for local travel, trams and buses are more convenient.
Reviews are mixed. One resident praises the friendliness and community spirit, while another complains about rude neighbours and limited parking. It's a dense urban area, so experiences vary.
The neighbourhood recorded 134 total crimes in the latest data. For a very densely populated area (over 10,000 addresses per km²), this is moderate.
