Trompbuurt, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodThis 1925 apartment on Maarten Harpertszoon Trompstraat has been brought up to an A energy label, so you get the charm of an old building without the draughts. At 65 m² it's a compact two-bedroom home, and with a price of €595,000 it sits well below the average asking price in the Trompbuurt, about 20% less than the neighbourhood average of €741,842. That makes it a keenly priced entry into the Amsterdam market, especially compared to other apartments in Amsterdam.
The Trompbuurt gets a 7.69 out of 10 from residents, based on two reviews. One resident calls it a 'cosy neighbourhood' with an ice cream shop and a playground, though they wish there were more facilities for older children. Another describes a 'pleasant atmosphere but not much neighbourhood feeling', friendly people and great shops, but a divide between students and expats and longer-term residents. The area is densely built (over 11,500 addresses per km²) and mostly consists of flats, with a mix of ages: many young adults and a fair number of families. For more on the area, see the neighbourhood Trompbuurt.
For your morning bread, Aldi is on your doorstep, and Albert Heijn is just around the corner. There are several primary schools within a five-minute walk: Admiraal De Ruyterschool, De Visserschool and St. Janschool are all a couple of streets away. The nearest secondary school is about a ten-minute walk. A park or garden is a five-minute walk away, and restaurants are just around the corner. The municipality Amsterdam offers all the city's amenities, though the nearest train station is 3.5 km away.

The asking price of €595,000 is about 20% below the average asking price in the Trompbuurt (€741,842) and also below the median of €695,000. Given that apartments in the area sell for an average of €691,631 and spend about 29 days on the market, this home is priced keenly. The 65 m² size and A energy label add to its value, so it's a competitive listing.
The Trompbuurt scores a 7.69 out of 10 from residents. One resident describes it as a 'cosy neighbourhood' with an ice cream shop and a playground, though they'd like more playgrounds for older children. Another says it has a 'pleasant atmosphere but not much neighbourhood feeling', friendly people and great shops, but a divide between students/expats and longer-term residents. It's a very urban area with many young adults and a mix of nationalities.
The apartment has an A energy label, which is very efficient. In the Trompbuurt, only 30% of homes have label A and 5% have A+, so this is a well-insulated home for its age (built in 1925). You can expect low heating costs compared to older properties with lower labels.
Aldi is just 82 metres away, and Albert Heijn is 326 metres, both within a few minutes' walk. There are several primary schools within 300 metres: Admiraal De Ruyterschool, De Visserschool and St. Janschool. The nearest secondary school is about 700 metres away. Restaurants and a park are also within a five-minute walk.
The nearest train station is 3.5 km away, so you'd need a bike, bus or car to reach it.
The street is in a very urban area (address density over 11,500 per km²), so it's lively. Residents mention a pleasant atmosphere but note that there are many students and expats. The apartment's A energy label suggests good insulation, which may help with noise from outside.
How residents experience their neighbourhood
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.

How residents experience their municipality
Een hele fijne, rustige buurt met veel groen en geweldige bomen die verkoeling en ontspanning bieden. 's nachts is het er stil en donker. Dat vind ik belangrijk voor de dieren. De buurt is goed bereikbaar met metro 54 en voorzieningen zijn op loopafstand in winkelcentrum de Poort. 1 ding is een ongelofelijke doorn in het oog en dat is de hygiene. Het is dagelijks een puinzoo bij de vuilcontainers. Zwerfafval waait overal naar toe. En hoewel we met een aantal bewoners dagelijks 'prikken' en opruimen is het een never ending story. Ik zou zo graag zien dat daar een oplossing voor komt.

Auto-translated to English by AII lived here for about 12 years. The neighbourhood has clear advantages: good connections by tram, bus and ferry/boat, plenty of supermarkets, gyms and practical amenities nearby. For me, however, there was one major drawback: structural low-frequency noise, demonstrably coming from commercial shipping on the Amsterdam-Rijnkanaal. If you are sensitive to that, it can be very burdensome. In my case, it was clearly noticeable indoors, especially at night. Neighbours said they slept with earplugs and extra insulation offered limited to no solution. The municipality took measurements at the time and acknowledged that the noise was significant, but indicated they could do little or nothing about it because the source fell outside their direct authority. My honest advice: visit this neighbourhood not only during the day, but also in the evening and at night, and pay specific attention to low-frequency humming or vibrations. For people sensitive to noise, I would personally strongly advise against this location.

Auto-translated to English by AINice, quiet and reasonably cosy neighbourhood. Good accessibility, the Amsterdam Forest nearby. Lots of different facilities within walking distance. Nice to live here with a family and pets! Quite a few schools within cycling distance. Hygiene in the neighbourhood is above the average level in Amsterdam. VUmc very close by.
Auto-translated to English by AIAt the end of the Silodam lies the striking MVRDV building. Surrounded by water on all sides. Every apartment has a view of the IJ and/or the Oude Houthaven. The views are therefore phenomenal and every day is different due to the weather. The sunrises and sunsets are unbeatable. Because the building is at the end of the Silodam, there is no through traffic and every person is either a resident or a visitor. This makes it, by Amsterdam standards, an exceptionally safe living environment. There is little turnover. The residents of this building form a close-knit community. A nice mix of families with and without children and single people who help each other where needed. And that too is a special quality in an increasingly transient Amsterdam. Within walking distance are the Haarlemmerdijk and the markets where you can find all the hustle and bustle if you feel like it. On the Silodam there is peace and quiet, a delight for body and mind. The wind, the seagulls, the waves on the IJ, the boats, occasionally a cruise ship, and every 5 years Sail! A little paradise in Amsterdam? Absolutely!
Auto-translated to English by AIBecause we are on the outskirts, there is no through traffic. In the middle of the street a large playground with a table tennis table and a small football pitch. And playground equipment. Behind our house only meadows.
