Zuidwestkwadrant-Zuid, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodThis 66 m² apartment on Jan van Zutphenstraat in Amsterdam's Zuidwestkwadrant-Zuid was built in 2007 and has an A energy label, so it's efficient and well-insulated. The asking price of €400,000 is exactly in line with the median for the area, making it a fair deal compared to other apartments in Amsterdam.
The neighbourhood is a real mix, as reflected in four reviews. One resident calls it "adequate/average" and notes "plenty of educational opportunities, supermarkets like Albert Heijn and Jumbo" and "many playgrounds, so really family-friendly." Another is less positive, mentioning "bombs and explosions" and "a lot of rubbish." A third review highlights the diversity: "Hardly any Dutch shops... mostly Muslim" but also "nice area for walking and cycling." The neighbourhood Zuidwestkwadrant-Zuid is densely populated with many young families and singles, and homes here sell in about two months on average.
For your morning bread, Albert Heijn is just around the corner, and Lidl and Jumbo are a ten-minute walk away. There are several primary schools within a five-minute walk, including Basisschool de Wereldburger and De Odyssee, plus a secondary school, Yuverta vmbo Amsterdam-West, just a couple of streets away. The municipality Amsterdam is well connected, though the nearest train station is 4 km away.
At the time of writing, the home is listed via Sweers & Boys Makelaardij and also appears on Funda.

Hardly any Dutch shops... mostly Muslim. On Tussenmeer 85 there is a squatter's pro-Palestine building... while everything is being done in the neighbourhood to make it nice. The building is full of Palestine flags and hate texts. We want more Dutch shops... For the rest... nice area for walking and cycling. The city is accessible from all sides and everything is well reachable. All shops are present.
Auto-translated to English by AIAdequate/average (not bad, but not fantastic either. Just normal), it's not the best, but no neighbourhood is; things can always change/improve. Plenty of educational opportunities, supermarkets like Albert Heijn and Jumbo, a bit further (15 minutes walk) there's also the centre with all sorts of other amenities such as shops, supermarkets, ice cream shops, restaurants, etc. Many playgrounds, so really family-friendly. However, I must admit that there is little parking space, possibly due to these amenities. Hygiene could also be better; there is often some rubbish on the ground that doesn't belong there, like cans etc. Housing: there are many homes and houses in the neighbourhood, also with private and shared garages, so really great.
Auto-translated to English by AIThere are so often bombs and explosions. And a lot of rubbish thrown on the ground. Constant arguments. Many young people with fitbikes. Almost got run over.
Auto-translated to English by AIVaried. I can't describe it with one word because in some areas it differs greatly from another. One aspect is simply a bit less good, for example there is very little parking space. Other areas are really great, everything is nearby, much is within walking distance, think schools, supermarkets, city centre, restaurants etc. That there is little greenery is not surprising when you live in a neighbourhood. Hygiene could also be better in my opinion, there are many things always on the street while there is a bin just 1 metre away.
