I've lived here my whole life and it's a nice neighbourhood. Everything is nearby, from Albert Heijn to the hairdresser. Also, Oosterpark is within walking distance and there are plenty of trams and buses passing by. It's not quite the centre of Amsterdam and therefore (apart from the HvA students) very quiet and chill. There are also many schools, Basisschool Aldoende or the HvA, always a place to learn! However, a downside is the rubbish; bins and containers are often overused, so in some places, especially in summer, it can smell really bad. Speaking of people, there are plenty! Just like houses, there are many family apartments and studios, so a mix of solo living and family life! So overall, a nice and educational neighbourhood!

About Muntendamstraat 20, Amsterdam

However, the average price per m² in the area is €8,033, and this home has 68 m², so the price per m² here is about €7,206. That is below the neighbourhood average, making it a relatively affordable option in the Oosterparkbuurt-Noordwest.
The home has an energy label A, which is very efficient. This means you can expect relatively low heating and electricity costs compared to older homes. In the neighbourhood, 46.2% of homes have label A, so this is in line with the local standard.
The nearest train station is 1.8 km away, which is about a 20-minute walk or a short tram ride. The area is well served by trams and buses, so public transport connections are good.
The neighbourhood has a mix of singles and families, with many family apartments and studios.

An Albert Heijn is just 145 metres away, so on your doorstep. A SPAR is 237 metres away, and an AH to go is 255 metres. For a larger shop, another Albert Heijn is 416 metres away. Daily groceries are very convenient.
The listing does not mention a garden, balcony, or terrace. The home is an apartment, so outdoor space is likely limited to the shared surroundings. The Oosterpark is a five-minute walk away for green space.
The floor area is 68 m², which typically accommodates a living room, bedroom, and possibly a second bedroom, but you would need to check the layout with the agent.
