Zuidwestkwadrant-Zuid, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on Johan Hofmanstraat sits in a neighbourhood that's very much alive, with a mix of cultures and daily bustle. At 96 m² and built in 2009, it's a comfortable size with an A energy label, so heating costs should be low. The asking price of €530,000 is 15% above the neighbourhood average of €461,889, which puts it on the high side compared to other apartments in Amsterdam.
The Zuidwestkwadrant-Zuid neighbourhood is a densely populated area with a strong urban feel. Based on four reviews, residents have mixed feelings: one says it's "adequate/average" and appreciates the many playgrounds and shops, while another mentions "bombs and explosions" and rubbish on the streets. A third review notes the area is "nice for walking and cycling" but wishes for more Dutch shops. The neighbourhood has a high proportion of families and young adults, and the housing stock is mostly apartments built after 1990.
For daily shopping, you have an Albert Heijn just around the corner, with Lidl and Jumbo a couple of streets away. There are several primary schools within a five-minute walk, including De Odyssee and Basisschool de Wereldburger, and a secondary school, Yuverta vmbo Amsterdam-West, on your doorstep. A park or public garden is also just around the corner, so green space is close by. The area is well connected, with the municipality of Amsterdam offering all the amenities of a major city.
At the time of writing, the home is listed through several channels, including Vlindermolen Makelaardij B.V., Funda, Pararius and Vastgoed Nederland.

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.

About Johan Hofmanstraat 321, Amsterdam
The asking price is 15% above the average asking price in the neighbourhood, which is €461,889. However, this apartment is larger than average (96 m² vs 87 m²) and has an A energy label, which may justify the premium. Recently sold homes in the area went for an average of €486,881, so the price is on the high side but not out of line for a modern, efficient home.
