The Trompbuurt neighbourhood
The Trompbuurt is a dense, urban area with a strong mix of students, expats and long-term residents. Two residents describe it as pleasant but lacking community spirit: one says "it's nice there and friendly people, but a sense of togetherness is lacking," while another calls it a "cosy neighbourhood" with a good ice cream shop and playground. Based on two reviews, the neighbourhood scores a 7.69 out of 10. Most homes here were built before 1945, and half have energy label C. It's a young area, nearly half the population is between 25 and 45, and many households are single-person. For more context, see the Trompbuurt neighbourhood.

Frequently asked questions
About Lumeijstraat 15-2, Amsterdam

The average price per m² is €9,305, and this apartment works out at about €9,929 per m², slightly above average, but the home is well-maintained and has a good energy label.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The apartment has energy label C, which is the most common label in the Trompbuurt, half of all homes here have label C. It means the home is reasonably efficient, so heating costs should be moderate. You won't face the high bills of a label G home, but it's not as efficient as a modern A-label property.
How is the neighbourhood for families?
The Trompbuurt has a young population, with many singles and students. Only about 345 households have children, and there are a few primary schools within walking distance. One resident notes that playgrounds for older children are lacking. It's a pleasant area, but the community feel is not strong, residents describe it as friendly but not very close-knit.
What shops and amenities are nearby?
You have an Aldi 209 metres away and two Albert Heijn supermarkets within 300 metres, so daily groceries are very convenient. There are also several primary schools within a few minutes' walk, a GP practice at 0.3 km, and a restaurant just 0.2 km away. For secondary education, Marcanti College is 413 metres away.
How far is the train station?
The nearest train station is 3.5 km from the apartment. That's about a 45-minute walk or a short bus ride.
What is the crime rate like in the Trompbuurt?
The neighbourhood recorded 175 total crimes in the latest data. With a population of 3,155, that works out to about 55 crimes per 1,000 residents, slightly above the national average, but typical for a dense urban area in Amsterdam. Most incidents are likely petty crime, as is common in city centres.

How long do homes typically stay on the market here?
Sold homes in the Trompbuurt took an average of 29 days to sell. That's relatively quick, indicating steady demand. The current listing has 19 apartments for sale, so buyers have some choice, but good properties don't linger.
