WG-terrein, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on the Overtoom sits in the lively heart of Amsterdam, where the city hums day and night. With 109 m² of living space, it's a generous home in a neighbourhood where space is a luxury. The price of €1,640,000 is on the high side compared to the apartments in Amsterdam market, reflecting its size and location.
The neighbourhood WG-terrein is a dense, urban pocket with over 10,000 addresses per km². Two residents share their views: one calls it "too busy", "Nice people but dirty place and stench of exhaust gases, very busy and noisy." Another finds it "fine", "School and the facilities are pleasant and I feel at ease when I walk around." The area is home to many singles and students, with a mix of ages but few families.
For your morning bread, an Albert Heijn is just around the corner, and another is a couple of streets away. A Jumbo and a SPAR are also within a five-minute walk. For school runs, Kindcentrum De Kinkerbuurt and Brede School Annie M.G. Schmidt are both a five-minute walk, while Huygens College for secondary education is a couple of streets away. The municipality Amsterdam offers all the cultural and leisure options you'd expect from the capital.
At the time of writing, the home is listed via Living Real Estate bv and also appears on Funda. The energy label is E, which means higher heating costs are to be expected, something to factor in.

Auto-translated to English by AIMy experience in the neighbourhood as a 21-year-old student is limited because I don't need to be there much; I would like to be more in touch with the neighbourhood, but that might be down to me, I don't know how. School and the facilities are pleasant and I feel at ease when I walk around.
