Spaarndammerbuurt-Midden, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on Knollendamstraat sits in the heart of the Spaarndammerbuurt, a neighbourhood known for its Amsterdam School architecture and lively streets. At 47 m² it's compact but well-proportioned, with an E energy label that means heating costs will be noticeable. The asking price of €410,000 is on the high side compared to other apartments in Amsterdam, reflecting the sought-after location.
The neighbourhood Spaarndammerbuurt-Midden is densely urban with over 5,800 addresses per km². Most households are single-person (500 out of 845), and the average household size is 1.7.

Lots of schools and many nice restaurants and parks. Close to central station but a lot of mess and rarely cleaned." The mix of opinions reflects a vibrant but gritty inner-city vibe.
For groceries, Albert Heijn is just around the corner, and Jumbo is a couple of streets away.

Crack dealers are a nuisance
Auto-translated to English by AIVery cosy and a neighbourhood with many different cultures that has many nice places to offer. Lots of schools and many nice restaurants and parks. Close to central station but a lot of mess and rarely cleaned. Maybe a cleaning vehicle should come by more often specifically for this neighbourhood.

About Knollendamstraat 70, Amsterdam
At 47 m², the price per m² is around €8,723. That's on the high side for an apartment with an E label, but the location in the Spaarndammerbuurt is very central and popular. Without comparable sales data for the immediate neighbourhood, it's hard to say if it's a bargain, but it's certainly not cheap.
An E label means the home is not very energy-efficient. You can expect higher heating costs compared to a modern home. The building dates from 1921, so insulation is likely minimal. It's worth budgeting for energy bills accordingly.
One resident mentions crack dealers as a nuisance, while another notes the area has a lot of mess and is rarely cleaned. The total number of crimes recorded in the neighbourhood is 104, but without a per-capita figure it's hard to compare. It's a lively inner-city area with some downsides.
There are several primary schools within walking distance: Daltonschool De Spaarndammerhout (262 m), Onze Amsterdamse School (285 m), and Basisschool Westerpark (612 m). For secondary education, Het 4e Gymnasium is 478 m away. The area has plenty of educational options.
The nearest train station is 2.8 km away. That's about a 35-minute walk or a short bike ride.
Parking in the Spaarndammerbuurt is typical for central Amsterdam: limited street parking with paid permits. The listing does not mention a parking spot, so you would need to arrange parking through the municipality.
