Frequently asked questions
About Marius Meijboomstraat 17, Amsterdam
Is €2,700 per month a fair rent for this apartment?
The rent of €2,700 matches the average and median rent in the Theo van Goghparkbuurt, which both stand at €2,709. The apartment's 79 m² is smaller than the neighbourhood average of 131 m², so the price per square metre is higher than average. Whether that feels fair depends on how much you value the modern build and the A energy label.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The energy label is A, which is the most efficient label. That means you can expect relatively low energy costs compared to homes with less efficient labels. The label is an official registration, so it reflects the property's energy performance as registered.
How far is the nearest train station?
The nearest train station is 6 km away. That is a distance you would likely cover by bike or public transport rather than on foot. The neighbourhood itself has good tram, bus and ferry connections, as one resident noted.
What do residents say about noise in the neighbourhood?
One resident who lived here for 12 years mentions structural low-frequency noise from commercial shipping on the Amsterdam-Rijnkanaal, noticeable indoors especially at night. The municipality acknowledged the noise but said they could do little about it. Other reviews do not mention noise, so it may vary by exact location.
What is the neighbourhood like for families?
The Theo van Goghparkbuurt has a high share of households with children, at 55%, and the average household size is 2.6 people. There are several primary schools within a few hundred metres, including De Poseidon and Basisschool de Archipel, both about 170 m away. The area is relatively quiet, though one resident found it lacking in interesting playgrounds.
How many homes are available for rent in this neighbourhood?
At the moment, there are 10 rental homes available in the Theo van Goghparkbuurt, with prices ranging from €1,879 to €3,602 per month. The average rental price is €2,709, and the average floor area is 131 m². This apartment is priced at the average, but with a smaller floor area.
