Ed Pelsterparkbuurt, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodThis 126 m² apartment on Lumièrestraat sits in the Ed Pelsterparkbuurt, a modern neighbourhood on Amsterdam's IJburg islands. Built in 2008, it has an A+ energy label, so it's very efficient. The asking price of €885,000 is on the high side compared to the neighbourhood average of €775,241, but the size and energy performance help explain that. For context, apartments in Amsterdam vary widely in price and quality.
The neighbourhood Ed Pelsterparkbuurt is a planned neighbourhood on IJburg with wide streets and lots of water around. Based on five reviews, residents give it a 6.35 out of 10. One resident says: "Heavenly wide, not far from the bustling centre, with a good tram connection to Central Station. But other neighbourhoods always require multiple transfers, even adjacent ones." Another calls it "a great neighbourhood! Lots of memories and people I know." The neighbourhood has many families and a mix of cultures, though some feel community building could be stronger. The police station nearby adds a sense of safety.
For groceries, the Dekamarkt is just around the corner, and Albert Heijn is a ten-minute walk away. There are several schools within walking distance: SBO Het Spectrum vestiging IJburg is a couple of streets away, and both De Poseidon and Basisschool de Archipel are about a five-minute walk. The Montessori Lyceum Terra Nova is also nearby. The municipality Amsterdam offers all the city's amenities, but here on IJburg you feel a bit removed from the hustle.

Heavenly wide, not far from the bustling centre, with a good tram connection to Central Station. But other neighbourhoods always require multiple transfers, even adjacent ones. Connection within the neighbourhood and with other neighbourhoods and the city itself is what I miss most. The water in summer makes up for a lot of that, but winters are very isolated. Although the streets themselves are Dutch-regulated straight-laced grey, nature is all around the streets. I prefer to be there, and people are friendlier there, than on the street itself. Green spaces and human interaction do something to a person. Many cultures live side by side (plus point!), but unfortunately they don't mix to form a new culture. The snack bar around the corner is the best community centre. Just like nature here, really. Everything is arranged side by side, not organically. The neighbourhood is for the orderly, commuting person who longs for their own bubble when they come home. A lot of waste and food is left on the street (also cleaned up by the municipality), which in my view is linked to a lack of community building/neighbourly care, more self-interest and less interest in neighbourhood interactions. The police station in the neighbourhood is very friendly and easily approachable. That gives a pleasant sense of safety.

Auto-translated to English by AIWell my experience is more that there are sometimes conflicts with the neighbours but that mainly concerns the block itself. Sometimes we manage to sort it out but often it's also a few who make decisions, which could always be different in my opinion. Overall it is a safe neighbourhood. Where you can certainly have a laugh. There are lots of playgrounds for children which is very safe.

About Lumièrestraat 50, Amsterdam
The asking price of €885,000 is above the neighbourhood average of €775,241 and the median of €725,000. However, this apartment is larger (126 m²) than the average (129 m²) and has an A+ energy label, which is rare. The price per m² works out to about €7,024, which is higher than the neighbourhood average of €6,002 per m². So it's priced at a premium, but the specs justify it.
