A modern apartment in Overtoomse Veld-Zuid
This apartment on Jan Tooropstraat sits in Overtoomse Veld-Zuid, a part of Amsterdam Nieuw-West that is more diverse and greener than its reputation suggests. Built in 2020, it has an A energy label and 76 m² of living space. At €1,780 per month, the rent is about 20% above the neighbourhood average of €1,487, which makes sense given the size and the modern build. For context, apartments in Amsterdam in this area average €28.66 per m², so you are paying a premium for the extra space.
The Overtoomse Veld-Zuid neighbourhood
One resident describes the area as "Pretty decent" and notes that while it doesn't have a very good reputation, that is "partly justified but partly not so bad." They mention the diversity, the greenery, and that they "almost never feel unsafe," though they also point out that the street can be dirty and the buildings are not much to look at. Based on this single review, the picture is mixed: there is a lot to like, but the streetscape could be better. The neighbourhood is home to around 4,800 people, with a high share of single-person households. The Overtoomse Veld-Zuid neighbourhood has a train station about a kilometre away, which the resident appreciates for getting to the centre.
Life on the street
For daily errands, you have an AH to go just around the corner, and a Lidl and an Albert Heijn a couple of streets away. A Dirk and another Albert Heijn are about a ten-minute walk. Schools are close too: the Alexander Roozendaalschool is on your doorstep, and the Comenius Lyceum for secondary education is a five-minute walk. The area is part of the municipality of Amsterdam, which means you are within cycling distance of the city centre, as the resident notes. The train station nearby also makes it easy to get around.
