Trompbuurt, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodThis apartment sits on a quiet street in the Trompbuurt, a stone's throw from the lively Jan van Galenstraat. Built in 1922, it has 70 m² of living space and an energy label C. At €695,000, the asking price is exactly in line with the median for the neighbourhood, making it a fair deal compared to other apartments in Amsterdam.
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.
Daily errands are easy: an Aldi is just around the corner, and two Albert Heijn supermarkets are a couple of streets away. For primary schools, the Admiraal De Ruyterschool and De Visserschool are both on your doorstep. Secondary pupils can walk to Marcanti College in about five minutes. The neighbourhood also has a GP practice, a restaurant and a park within a few minutes' walk. The municipality of Amsterdam provides all the usual city amenities, from libraries to public transport, though the nearest train station is a 3.5 km walk.

It's nice there and friendly people. But a sense of togetherness is lacking and I don't have much contact with my neighbours either, which I regret. My primary school days in this neighbourhood were really perfect and the restaurants and shops are also very good. But there are many students and expats, which makes me feel a certain divide and not much community. I myself would like to move out, but that's certainly not possible in my neighbourhood because they are far too expensive.
Auto-translated to English by AINice and cosy, there is an ice cream shop and a playground called de ruige speeltijn but now it's for babies because everything is getting super small, which is a shame, but the rest is great. We get along well and some of my friends live very close by, which is also nice. But I do think there should be more playgrounds for older children, because babies are fine at home too, but older kids just end up on their phones or laptops, so more playgrounds for older children, that's the only thing.

About Lumeijstraat 15-2, Amsterdam
The asking price of €695,000 matches the median sale price in the Trompbuurt exactly. Over the past year, 80 homes sold here at an average of €691,631, so the price is in line with the local market. 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.
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.
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.
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.
The nearest train station is 3.5 km from the apartment. That's about a 45-minute walk or a short bus ride.
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.
With 70 m² and one bedroom (the listing states it's an apartment, but the number of rooms is not specified), it's well suited for a couple or a single person. The layout is not described, but the floor area gives enough space for a living room, bedroom and separate kitchen. Families with children might find it tight.
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.
