Van der Pekbuurt, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodThis 56 m² apartment on Malvastraat sits in the Van der Pekbuurt, a neighbourhood that feels like a village among the high-rises. The 1925 building has energy label D, so heating costs are something to budget for. At €400,000, the asking price is exactly the neighbourhood median, and the home is 27% larger than the average flat in the area, that extra space makes it keen value compared to other apartments in Amsterdam.
The neighbourhood Van der Pekbuurt is a mix of old and new, with ongoing renovation and development. One resident describes it as 'a little village among the apartment blocks' and praises its easy access by car and public transport. The same review notes that rubbish on the street and rats near the bins are a downside. The area is densely urban (3,556 addresses per km²) and home to many singles and young professionals.
For your morning bread, Vomar is just around the corner, and Albert Heijn is a couple of streets away. Two primary schools, Oecumenische basisschool Oranje Nassau and Taalschool Innoord, are within a five-minute walk. A park or public garden is also just around the corner, and a restaurant is on your doorstep. The municipality Amsterdam offers all the cultural and transport links you'd expect from the capital.
At the time of writing the home is listed via Hoekstra en van Eck and appears on several channels including Funda and Pararius.

There is a mix of poor and rich, the neighbourhood is still being renovated and the area is fully under development, but already beautiful, a little village among the apartment blocks. Easily accessible by both car and public transport, I say: a top location. As for hygiene; a lot of rubbish on the street and near the bins, I regularly see rats running around.
