A calm, classic Amsterdam apartment
This apartment on Milletstraat sits in the Minervabuurt-Zuid, a pocket of the Apollobuurt that feels a world away from the busiest parts of the city. With 118 m² of living space and a 1938 build, it has the generous proportions and high ceilings you would expect from that era. The energy label is C, which is a middle-of-the-road rating, so heating costs will be moderate. At €3,335 per month, the rent sits about 15% below the neighbourhood average of €3,964, which makes it a keenly priced option compared with other apartments in Amsterdam.
The Minervabuurt-Zuid neighbourhood
One resident describes the area as "Close to the centre but still relatively quiet", and that sums it up well. They note it is suitable for families, with good schools and not too busy, and that there are many options for sports nearby. The same review mentions several parks in the area and that the surroundings are easily accessible, with a metro and train station within walking distance, and the centre a fifteen-minute bike ride away. Based on this single review, the neighbourhood scores an 8 out of 10. CBS figures show a mix of household types, with a notable share of single-person households and a good number of families with children, so the streets have a varied, settled feel. For more on the area, see the Minervabuurt-Zuid neighbourhood.
Life on the street
Daily errands are well covered here. For groceries, an Albert Heijn is just around the corner, with another a couple of streets away, and an Ekoplaza for organic options a short walk further. School runs are easy too: the Eerste Openluchtschool voor het Gezonde Kind is a five-minute walk, and secondary options like the Gerrit van der Veen College and Spinoza Lyceum are within a ten-minute stroll. The area is part of the municipality of Amsterdam, which means all the city's amenities are within reach, yet the immediate streets stay calm and residential.
