I 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 AIThere are no good places to be outside. The Theo van Gogh park is ugly and not cosy. No nice benches in spots and no things like a gym (chain), coffeeshop or late-night snack bar or the like.

Auto-translated to English by AIMany speed bumps, few public transport options.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt is generally quite nice and safe, but there are a few neighbours who can be extremely rude and threatening, and that is very disappointing.
Auto-translated to English by AIThere is neighbourhood prevention, street coaches, etc., the streets are relatively clean, there are some parks and from my house some nature area(-like) is accessible. There are water pumps, playgrounds, rubbish bins. Houses are expensive and there is little public transport, the bridges are annoying.

About Jan Vrijmanstraat 189, Amsterdam
The asking price is above the neighbourhood average of €1,015,834 and the median of €1,037,500. However, this apartment is 29% larger than the average floor area in the area (205 m² vs 159 m²), and it has an A+ energy label. The price per m² works out to about €5,366, which is below the neighbourhood average of €6,187 per m², so you are getting more space for a lower per-square-metre rate.
The energy label is A+, which is the highest rating. This means the home is very energy-efficient, so you can expect low heating and electricity costs. In the neighbourhood, 37% of homes have label A+ and 63% have label A, so this home is among the most efficient.
The nearest train station is 6 km away. That is a bit of a distance, so you would likely rely on trams, buses or the ferry for public transport connections to the city centre.
The Theo van Goghparkbuurt has many families: about 1,255 households with children out of 2,180 total. There are several primary schools within walking distance, like Laterna Magica (242 m) and De Poseidon (538 m). However, some residents find the park uninviting and note a lack of cosy outdoor spots.
Some residents report low-frequency noise from commercial shipping on the Amsterdam-Rijnkanaal, which can be noticeable indoors, especially at night. The municipality acknowledged the noise but said little could be done. It is worth visiting in the evening to check for yourself.
At 205 m², this apartment is 29% larger than the neighbourhood average of 159 m². It is also newer than most: 63% of homes in the area were built after 2010, and this one was built in 2010, so it is part of the newer stock.
