Trompbuurt, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodThis 49 m² apartment on Maarten Harpertszoon Trompstraat sits in a lively part of Amsterdam-West. The building dates from 1925 and has an F energy label, so heating costs are something to budget for. At €450,000 it is the cheapest of the 19 homes currently for sale in the neighbourhood and 39% below the average asking price of €741,842, a keen price for a starter home in this part of the city. For context, the average price per m² in the Trompbuurt is €9,305, and apartments in Amsterdam vary widely.
Two residents describe the Trompbuurt as having a pleasant atmosphere but not much neighbourhood feeling. One says: "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." Another calls it a "cosy neighbourhood" with an ice cream shop and a playground, though they note that playgrounds for older children are missing. The area is densely urban (11,559 addresses per km²) and mostly consists of flats. Many residents are between 25 and 45, and there are many single-person households. The neighbourhood Trompbuurt is popular with students and expats, which some feel creates a divide.
For daily groceries, an Aldi is on your doorstep, and an Albert Heijn is just around the corner. Several primary schools are a couple of streets away, including the Admiraal De Ruyterschool and De Visserschool, both within a five-minute walk. A playground called de ruige speeltijn is nearby, though residents say it now caters mostly to babies. The municipality Amsterdam offers plenty of restaurants and a library within walking distance.
At the time of writing the home is listed via Hoekstra en van Eck and is also available through several other channels.

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 Maarten Harpertszoon Trompstraat 38-3, Amsterdam
At €450,000, this is the cheapest home currently for sale in the Trompbuurt and 39% below the neighbourhood average of €741,842. However, the floor area is 49 m², which is 40% smaller than the average of 81 m². The price per m² works out to about €9,184, which is slightly below the neighbourhood average of €9,305. Given the small size and F energy label, the price seems in line with the market.
The energy label is F, which is one of the least efficient ratings. In the Trompbuurt, 50% of homes have label C and 30% have label A, so this apartment is below average. You can expect higher heating costs compared to a more efficient home. The building dates from 1925, which is typical for the neighbourhood, all homes in the Trompbuurt were built before 1945.
The Trompbuurt is very densely built and has a young population, with many people aged 25-45. There is an Aldi on your doorstep and an Albert Heijn a few minutes away. Several primary schools are within walking distance. Residents mention a pleasant atmosphere but note that community feeling is limited due to many students and expats. There is a playground nearby, though some feel it is too small for older children.
The nearest train station is 3.5 km away, so it is not within walking distance. The city centre is easily reachable by bike or public transport.
With 49 m², it is likely a one-bedroom or studio, but you would need to check the floor plan with the agent.
The listing does not mention a garden, balcony, or terrace. Given that the building is from 1925 and the apartment is on the third floor, it is unlikely to have private outdoor space. The neighbourhood has a park or public garden 0.4 km away.
