Leen Jongewaardkade 63
Buiksloterham-Zuid, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodA modern apartment in Amsterdam-Noord
This bright apartment on Leen Jongewaardkade sits in the young, developing Buiksloterham-Zuid area of Amsterdam-Noord. With 88 m² of living space, it is a comfortable size for a couple or small family. The energy label A+ means the home is very efficient, so heating costs should be modest. At €2,600 per month, the rent is on the high side compared with the neighbourhood average, but the new build and efficient design justify part of that. For context, apartments in Amsterdam are in steady supply.
The Buiksloterham-Zuid neighbourhood
The Buiksloterham-Zuid neighbourhood is a relatively new district, and residents appreciate the modern, energy-efficient homes and the friendly community. One resident says: "I've been living on Hetty Blokstraat for 2 years now. And I think it's a great neighbourhood. With nice people and beautiful energy-efficient houses. The public transport connections are unfortunately not great. But since this is a new district, I think that will change. I think it's a super nice neighbourhood and I don't think I'll ever leave this neighbourhood." Another adds: "I've been living here for 2 years now and I'm very happy with the neighbourhood."

Frequently asked questions
About Leen Jongewaardkade 63, Amsterdam
Is €2,600 a fair rent for this apartment?
The rent is above the neighbourhood average of €2,502 per month, and the median is €1,796. However, this is a new build with an A+ energy label, which typically commands a premium. The price per square metre works out to about €29.55, which is in line with the local market. Whether it is fair depends on your budget and priorities.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The energy label is A+, which is the most efficient category. This means the home is very energy-efficient, so you can expect relatively low heating and electricity costs. The label is an official registration, so it reflects the building's energy performance as certified.
How far is the nearest train station?
The nearest train station is about 5.2 km away. This is a bit of a distance, so you would likely rely on other transport options for train travel. The neighbourhood is still developing its public transport connections, as one resident noted.
What are the nearby schools?
There are several primary schools within walking distance, including Dalton Kind Centrum De IJsbreker at about 454 metres and Kindcentrum De Baanbreker at about 594 metres. For secondary education, the nearest is about 1.1 km away. This makes the area convenient for families with young children.
How does the floor area compare to other rentals in the neighbourhood?
At 88 m², this apartment is 37% smaller than the neighbourhood average of 139 m². This means you get less space for your money, but the modern build and efficient layout may compensate. The price per square metre is in line with the local average.

How residents experience their district
It's a very nice neighbourhood, just a shame that the nearest supermarket is so small and therefore doesn't have everything.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's a nice neighbourhood to grow up in, but it's a shame there's no large supermarket nearby; you have to take your bike for that, about a 7-minute ride.

Auto-translated to English by AIIn my opinion, Overhoeks is a beautiful, quiet neighbourhood. It's convenient that you can be in the heart of Amsterdam within 10 minutes without having to deal with the hustle and bustle of the centre. There is a calm and safe atmosphere. The only downside is that there are still some shops missing. There is only one small Albert Heijn.

Experiences from Amsterdam
How residents experience their municipality
IJburg is a new district still under development and it's getting better with all the amenities and a beach nearby. And you're also quickly out of the city and into the greenery.
Auto-translated to English by AIQuiet, peaceful, relaxed, green, social and a nice mix of people
Auto-translated to English by AII lived here for about 12 years. The neighbourhood has clear advantages: good connections by tram, bus and ferry/boat, plenty of supermarkets, gyms and practical amenities nearby. For me, however, there was one major drawback: structural low-frequency noise, demonstrably coming from commercial shipping on the Amsterdam-Rijnkanaal. If you are sensitive to that, it can be very burdensome. In my case, it was clearly noticeable indoors, especially at night. Neighbours said they slept with earplugs and extra insulation offered limited to no solution. The municipality took measurements at the time and acknowledged that the noise was significant, but indicated they could do little or nothing about it because the source fell outside their direct authority. My honest advice: visit this neighbourhood not only during the day, but also in the evening and at night, and pay specific attention to low-frequency humming or vibrations. For people sensitive to noise, I would personally strongly advise against this location.

Auto-translated to English by AINice, quiet and reasonably cosy neighbourhood. Good accessibility, the Amsterdam Forest nearby. Lots of different facilities within walking distance. Nice to live here with a family and pets! Quite a few schools within cycling distance. Hygiene in the neighbourhood is above the average level in Amsterdam. VUmc very close by.
Auto-translated to English by AIAt the end of the Silodam lies the striking MVRDV building. Surrounded by water on all sides. Every apartment has a view of the IJ and/or the Oude Houthaven. The views are therefore phenomenal and every day is different due to the weather. The sunrises and sunsets are unbeatable. Because the building is at the end of the Silodam, there is no through traffic and every person is either a resident or a visitor. This makes it, by Amsterdam standards, an exceptionally safe living environment. There is little turnover. The residents of this building form a close-knit community. A nice mix of families with and without children and single people who help each other where needed. And that too is a special quality in an increasingly transient Amsterdam. Within walking distance are the Haarlemmerdijk and the markets where you can find all the hustle and bustle if you feel like it. On the Silodam there is peace and quiet, a delight for body and mind. The wind, the seagulls, the waves on the IJ, the boats, occasionally a cruise ship, and every 5 years Sail! A little paradise in Amsterdam? Absolutely!
Auto-translated to English by AIBecause we are on the outskirts, there is no through traffic. In the middle of the street a large playground with a table tennis table and a small football pitch. And playground equipment. Behind our house only meadows.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's a nice quiet neighbourhood on the edge of the city but still close to many good amenities that a city has to offer. The neighbourhood is still becoming more beautiful.
