Minervabuurt-Noord, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on Jan van Eijckstraat sits in a quiet, leafy part of the Apollobuurt. At 77 m² it is compact by neighbourhood standards, but the 1928 building and modern energy label A make it an efficient home. The asking price of €690,000 is 58% below the neighbourhood average of €1,658,063, making it the cheapest of the 16 apartments currently for sale in the area. For context, apartments in Amsterdam vary widely, but this one is keenly priced.
Minervabuurt-Noord is a stately pre-war neighbourhood with wide streets and plane trees. Almost all homes (95%) were built before 1945, and the area is predominantly owner-occupied (61%).

There are no resident reviews available for this neighbourhood, but the CBS data shows a low crime rate (153 incidents total).

Your daily routine starts with a short walk to the Albert Heijn just around the corner. For a change, there is another Albert Heijn a ten-minute walk away and an Aldi a bit further. Schools are close: the Gerrit van der Veen College (secondary) is a couple of streets away, and the 1e Montessorischool De Wielewaal (primary) is just around the corner.

The asking price is 58% below the neighbourhood average of €1,658,063, and it is the cheapest of the 16 apartments currently for sale in Minervabuurt-Noord. However, the floor area (77 m²) is 49% smaller than the neighbourhood average of 152 m². The price per square metre works out at roughly €8,961, which is below the neighbourhood average of €10,906 per m². So it is keenly priced for the area, but you are getting a smaller home.

The home has energy label A, which is very efficient. In the neighbourhood, 23.5% of homes have label A, while 47.1% have label D or lower. So this apartment is above average in energy performance, meaning lower heating costs and a smaller environmental footprint.

How residents experience their district
I experience my neighbourhood as suitable for families, there are good schools and it is not too busy. In the area there are many options for sports. Contact with the neighbours is sufficient, but not very close. Furthermore, there are several parks in the area and the surroundings are easily accessible, with a metro and train station within walking distance. It is a fifteen-minute bike ride to the centre.
Auto-translated to English by AIA nice, green neighbourhood with plenty of space and quiet streets. Amenities such as shops, supermarkets and schools are all nearby, making life here very comfortable. The nearby Amstelpark offers a lovely place for a walk. Public transport and main roads are easily accessible, allowing you to quickly reach the city centre or other parts of the city. All in all, it is an ideal neighbourhood for both families and young professionals who love a quiet living environment.

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.
