Oostpoort, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodThis 65 m² apartment on Linnaeusstraat sits in the lively Oostpoort neighbourhood, part of the Dapperbuurt district. Built in 1933, it has energy label D, something to factor in, especially since most homes for sale in the area have better labels. At €550,000, the asking price is 17% below the neighbourhood average of €661,250, making it a keen option compared to other apartments in Amsterdam.

There are no resident reviews available, so the picture comes from CBS data. The neighbourhood has a high proportion of modern homes (90% built after 2010), though this apartment dates from the 1930s. Incomes are average for Amsterdam, and the area feels lively and well-used. For more context, see the neighbourhood Oostpoort.

About Linnaeusstraat 251-2, Amsterdam
The asking price is 17% below the average for homes currently for sale in Oostpoort (€661,250) and also below the median of €675,000. Recently sold homes in the area went for an average of €740,818, so this listing is priced on the low side. However, the energy label D is weaker than most of the current stock, which may explain the discount.
The apartment has energy label D. In Oostpoort, all current for-sale homes have label A or better (33% A+, 67% A), so this home is less efficient than the local norm. You can expect higher heating costs compared to a modern, well-insulated home. The exact running costs depend on usage and energy prices.
Very convenient. Dirk is just 99 metres away, Albert Heijn is 157 metres, and Vomar is 308 metres, all within a short walk. There are also plenty of restaurants (0.2 km) and a library (0.7 km). For bigger trips, the city centre is easily reachable by bike or tram.
Primary schools within walking distance include IKC Frankendael (366 m) and De Kraal (367 m). For secondary education, Montessori Lyceum Oostpoort (291 m) offers vmbo, mavo, havo and vwo. There is also a special primary school, SBO Het Spectrum, at 430 m.
The nearest train station is 1.2 km away, about a 15-minute walk. That makes it fine for occasional train travel, but daily commuters might prefer a bike or tram connection.
The CBS recorded 567 total crimes in the neighbourhood, which is relatively high for an urban area. However, this covers all types of offences and should be weighed against the lively, central character of the area.
