Overtoomse Veld-Zuid, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodThis 79 m² apartment on Johan Jongkindstraat 202 is a calm base in Amsterdam Nieuw-West. Built in 1998 with energy label B, it's efficient and well-maintained. At €425,000, the price is below the neighbourhood average of €492,786, making it a keen option compared to other apartments in Amsterdam.
One resident describes the area as "Pretty decent": "It doesn't have a very good reputation, which is partly justified but partly not so bad. Yes, every now and then you hear an explosion, which certainly isn't pleasant, but when you walk through the neighbourhood there's also a lot of diversity and I almost never feel unsafe (though that doesn't say much as a 1.90m man). Furthermore, it can be very cosy and there's a lot of greenery in the area, which is also very nice. The buildings are ugly, but I can live with that. The street is also very dirty, because apparently nobody cares about nature and the streetscape, so everything gets thrown on the street." The neighbourhood Overtoomse Veld-Zuid is densely populated with many young adults and singles, and a mix of housing from the 1990s and later.
For daily groceries, you have a Lidl just around the corner and an Albert Heijn a couple of streets away. There's also a Dirk within a ten-minute walk. Schools are close by: the Alexander Roozendaalschool is on your doorstep, and the Comenius Lyceum is a couple of streets away. The municipality Amsterdam offers plenty of green space nearby, with a park just a couple of streets away.
At the time of writing the home is listed only via Another Real Estate Agency (AREA).

I live in Nieuw-West in Amsterdam. It doesn't have a very good reputation, which is partly justified but partly not so bad. Yes, every now and then you hear an explosion, which certainly isn't pleasant, but when you walk through the neighbourhood there's also a lot of diversity and I almost never feel unsafe (though that doesn't say much as a 1.90m man). Furthermore, it can be very cosy and there's a lot of greenery in the area, which is also very nice. The buildings are ugly, but I can live with that. The street is also very dirty, because apparently nobody cares about nature and the streetscape, so everything gets thrown on the street. In terms of amenities, there's enough, but if I need clothes, for example, I have to go to the city centre, so that's why it's not rated very high but still sufficient. The city centre is (by Amsterdam standards) fortunately not very far to cycle and there's also a train station nearby and the metro goes there too.
