The asking price is 94% above the neighbourhood average of €1,851,500, making it the most expensive of the 16 homes currently for sale in the Hondecoeterbuurt. However, the apartment is also 45% larger than the local average (206 m² vs 142 m²) and has an A++ energy label, which only 6% of local listings achieve. So the premium reflects its exceptional size and efficiency.
An A++ label is the highest possible, meaning the home is extremely energy-efficient. You can expect very low heating and electricity bills compared to older homes. In the Hondecoeterbuurt, only 6% of homes for sale have an A+ label or better, so this is a standout feature.
The Hondecoeterbuurt is family-friendly, with 255 households with children out of 1,085 homes. There are several primary schools within a few minutes' walk, including Nicolaas Maes school at 68 metres. The area is quiet and green, with the Vondelpark nearby.
The nearest train station is 2 km away. That is about a 25-minute walk or a short cycle.
Homes that sold in the Hondecoeterbuurt took an average of 53 days to sell. That is a reasonable timeframe, suggesting a balanced market. The average sold price was €1,510,694, well below this listing's asking price.
Yes, several. The nearest Albert Heijn is 360 metres away, and there are two more within 600 metres. A Coop and an Aldi are also within a ten-minute walk. Daily shopping is very convenient.
The address density is 7,199 per km², which is very high, typical for a central Amsterdam neighbourhood. The urbanity level is 1 (very strong). Expect a lively, urban environment with all amenities close by, but the street itself is quiet.
The building was constructed in 1906, so it is over a century old. Despite its age, the apartment has an A++ energy label, indicating it has been thoroughly modernised.

How residents experience their district
De Harmoniehof is a neat and safe neighbourhood with well-maintained homes, adequate amenities, and good accessibility. Schools and shops are nearby, and the area is clean and quiet. The sense of community could be better: residents live somewhat past each other, and there is little contact or joint activities. More neighbourhood initiatives would strengthen cohesion.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt is a very nice neighbourhood. There is plenty to do with Vondelpark around the corner. Many schools for my children and enough supermarkets.

How residents experience their municipality
Een hele fijne, rustige buurt met veel groen en geweldige bomen die verkoeling en ontspanning bieden. 's nachts is het er stil en donker. Dat vind ik belangrijk voor de dieren. De buurt is goed bereikbaar met metro 54 en voorzieningen zijn op loopafstand in winkelcentrum de Poort. 1 ding is een ongelofelijke doorn in het oog en dat is de hygiene. Het is dagelijks een puinzoo bij de vuilcontainers. Zwerfafval waait overal naar toe. En hoewel we met een aantal bewoners dagelijks 'prikken' en opruimen is het een never ending story. Ik zou zo graag zien dat daar een oplossing voor komt.
Auto-translated to English by AIIJburg is a new district still under development and it's getting better with all the amenities and a beach nearby. And you're also quickly out of the city and into the greenery.

Auto-translated to English by AII lived here for about 12 years. The neighbourhood has clear advantages: good connections by tram, bus and ferry/boat, plenty of supermarkets, gyms and practical amenities nearby. For me, however, there was one major drawback: structural low-frequency noise, demonstrably coming from commercial shipping on the Amsterdam-Rijnkanaal. If you are sensitive to that, it can be very burdensome. In my case, it was clearly noticeable indoors, especially at night. Neighbours said they slept with earplugs and extra insulation offered limited to no solution. The municipality took measurements at the time and acknowledged that the noise was significant, but indicated they could do little or nothing about it because the source fell outside their direct authority. My honest advice: visit this neighbourhood not only during the day, but also in the evening and at night, and pay specific attention to low-frequency humming or vibrations. For people sensitive to noise, I would personally strongly advise against this location.

Auto-translated to English by AINice, quiet and reasonably cosy neighbourhood. Good accessibility, the Amsterdam Forest nearby. Lots of different facilities within walking distance. Nice to live here with a family and pets! Quite a few schools within cycling distance. Hygiene in the neighbourhood is above the average level in Amsterdam. VUmc very close by.
Auto-translated to English by AIAt the end of the Silodam lies the striking MVRDV building. Surrounded by water on all sides. Every apartment has a view of the IJ and/or the Oude Houthaven. The views are therefore phenomenal and every day is different due to the weather. The sunrises and sunsets are unbeatable. Because the building is at the end of the Silodam, there is no through traffic and every person is either a resident or a visitor. This makes it, by Amsterdam standards, an exceptionally safe living environment. There is little turnover. The residents of this building form a close-knit community. A nice mix of families with and without children and single people who help each other where needed. And that too is a special quality in an increasingly transient Amsterdam. Within walking distance are the Haarlemmerdijk and the markets where you can find all the hustle and bustle if you feel like it. On the Silodam there is peace and quiet, a delight for body and mind. The wind, the seagulls, the waves on the IJ, the boats, occasionally a cruise ship, and every 5 years Sail! A little paradise in Amsterdam? Absolutely!
Auto-translated to English by AIBecause we are on the outskirts, there is no through traffic. In the middle of the street a large playground with a table tennis table and a small football pitch. And playground equipment. Behind our house only meadows.
