Javakade 38
Java-eiland, Amsterdam
AreaA calm spot on Java-eiland
This apartment sits on Javakade, right on the water in the Oostelijk Havengebied, a part of Amsterdam where the streets feel open and the pace is a little slower than the city centre. Built in 1998, it is part of the wave of development that turned the old harbour district into a residential area. The asking price of €590,000 is keen compared with the neighbourhood average asking price of €729,000, which puts it 19% below that figure. For context, apartments in Amsterdam vary widely in price, so this one sits at the lower end of what you might expect.
Inside the apartment
The home is spread over two floors and has three rooms, including two bedrooms and one bathroom. According to the agent, the living area is 81 m², while the BAG registration lists 84 m². It is located on the first living floor and has a side garden of 24 m² facing northwest. The agent notes double glazing and district heating. The energy label is B, which is an efficient label, so heating costs should be manageable.
Life on Java-eiland
Residents of the wider district give it an average score of 7.48, based on seven reviews. One resident describes the area as a place where "the contact with the neighbours is very pleasant" and where "it feels like a real community where people know and help each other." Another mentions the green spaces and the mix of residents, from the first generation of inhabitants to young families. The same resident notes that public transport is limited to the Veelaan side, and that the cycle path can be noisy at weekends. A third review is less positive, mentioning neglected greenery and a playground that was removed and not replaced. These are district-level impressions, not specific to this street. The neighbourhood itself has around 3,075 residents, and most homes here were built between 1990 and 2010. You can read more about the Java-eiland neighbourhood on its own page.
