Makassarpleinbuurt, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodThis modern apartment on the Makassarstraat sits in the lively Indische Buurt-Oost, a neighbourhood that has transformed in recent years. Built in 2013 with energy label A, it's efficient and well-insulated. At €2,600 per month for 84 m², the price is slightly above the neighbourhood average of €2,500, but given the quality and energy performance, it's in line with the market for apartments in Amsterdam.
The Makassarpleinbuurt is a dense, urban area with a mix of cultures. Based on four reviews, residents have contrasting views. One says: "The people here in the neighbourhood are friendly and everyone helps each other where needed, so nice!" Another calls it a "social neighbourhood" where "everyone helps each other and stands up for each other."
