Javakade 172
Java-eiland, Amsterdam
AreaA waterside home on Java-eiland
This apartment sits on Javakade, one of the quays that give Java-eiland its character. The island is part of the Oostelijk Havengebied, a former harbour district turned residential area, and it feels a world away from the bustle of central Amsterdam. Built in 1998, the home has an energy label A, which is an efficient label. The asking price of €625,000 is in line with the market, according to the comparison with the neighbourhood average. For context, the average asking price for apartments in Amsterdam sits at €729,000.
The apartment itself
The living area measures 74 square metres according to the BAG registration, which works out at €8,446 per square metre. The listing does not provide further details on the layout, such as the number of bedrooms or bathrooms, or whether there is a garden or balcony. What is clear is that the home dates from 1998 and carries an energy label A, so expect relatively modest energy costs.
Life on Java-eiland
Java-eiland is a slender island in the IJ, laid out in the 1990s with a mix of apartment blocks and low-rise housing. Residents of the wider Oostelijk Havengebied district give their surroundings an average score of 7.48, based on seven reviews. One resident describes the area as a "little neighbourhood tucked away somewhere", praising the green spaces and the mix of people, from the first generation of residents now in their sixties to young families. Another notes the special architecture, saying "it's almost as if you're walking through an open-air museum". The same resident mentions the quiet and green environment, with wide streets and plenty of trees. A third review is less positive, complaining about neglected greenery and a playground that was removed and never replaced. Around a third of the homes in the Java-eiland neighbourhood are owner-occupied, and the population of about 3,075 is spread fairly evenly across age groups, with a notable share of one-person households.
