Terrasdorp, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on Kotteraarstraat 28 sits in Terrasdorp, a pocket of Amsterdam North that feels more like a close-knit village than a city neighbourhood. At 50 m² and with an energy label C, it's a compact home with a price that's 23% below the neighbourhood average asking price of €485,167, making it a keen entry point into the market. For context, the average apartments in Amsterdam in this price bracket tend to be smaller, so this one stands out.
Terrasdorp is a neighbourhood where people know each other. One resident describes it as a 'Unique neighbourhood in Amsterdam where many people know each other and come together, actually almost a small village within Amsterdam.' Another long-time resident says: 'I've been living in the same house since 1992 and together with the same people, never had any problems with them. I'm very happy in my neighbourhood, next to NDSM wharf in Amsterdam North.' A third review calls it 'quiet, a bit ugly', so opinions vary, but the sense of community is strong. The area has a mix of ages, with many singles and a fair number of families. It's a place where you might bump into the same faces at the local supermarket. For more on the area, see the neighbourhood Terrasdorp.
For your morning bread, the PLUS is just around the corner, and Albert Heijn is a five-minute walk away. There are several primary schools within walking distance: Daltonschool De Poolster and IKC Tuindorp are both a couple of streets away. The nearest secondary school is about a ten-minute walk. A GP and a park are also on your doorstep, and there's a restaurant just around the corner. The municipality Amsterdam offers all the city's amenities, but here you're in a quieter pocket.
At the time of writing, the home is listed through several channels, including Visch & van Zeggelaar, Funda, and Pararius.
