Rembrandtplein en omgeving, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodThis 75 m² apartment sits on one of Amsterdam's oldest streets, right in the thick of the Rembrandtplein area. The building dates from 1650, so you are buying a piece of the Golden Age. The asking price of €625,000 is 63% below the neighbourhood average of €1,681,409, which is partly explained by the compact size, 54% smaller than the typical 163 m² in this area. For context, see other apartments in Amsterdam.
This is the beating heart of Amsterdam's nightlife and culture. The area is densely built and extremely urban, with over 9,200 addresses per km². Most residents live alone (400 single-person households) and the average household size is just 1.4. It is a young crowd: over half the population is between 25 and 45. There are few families with children (40 households). The housing stock is almost entirely flats (94%), and 85% of homes were built before 1945. For more on the area, see the Rembrandtplein e.o. neighbourhood.
Your morning coffee is just around the corner at the Albert Heijn or AH to go. For organic groceries, Ekoplaza is a five-minute walk. Primary schools are a ten-minute walk away: De Witte Olifant and ASVO. The nearest train station is 2 km away, so cycling is the norm. For more about the wider area, see the municipality of Amsterdam.

The asking price is €625,000, which is 63% below the neighbourhood average of €1,681,409. However, the apartment is also 54% smaller than the average home in the area (75 m² vs 163 m²). The price per m² works out to about €8,333, while the neighbourhood average per m² is €9,778. So it is priced below the local average per m², but the absolute price is low because of the compact size.
The home has an official energy label E, registered in EP-Online. Label E is the second-lowest rating on the scale, so you can expect higher energy costs compared to a more efficient home. The label does not tell you exactly what needs improvement, it could be the heating system, ventilation or something else. In the neighbourhood, 33% of homes have label D or lower.
The nearest train station is 2.07 km away, which is about a 25-minute walk or a short cycle. Given the central location, most daily errands can be done on foot or by bike.
The CBS data records 1,030 total crimes in the neighbourhood, which is relatively high for a small area. However, this is a very central, busy part of Amsterdam with many bars and restaurants, so the figure reflects the urban nightlife environment rather than residential crime. The area is popular with young professionals and students.
The floor area is 75 m², but without a layout description it is not possible to estimate the number of bedrooms or living spaces.
The listing does not mention a garden, balcony or terrace. The plot size is not given either, so it is safe to assume there is no private outdoor space, typical for a historic apartment in the city centre.
In central Amsterdam, on-street parking is limited and expensive, and many residents rely on public transport or bicycles. A parking permit may be available from the municipality, but you would need to check the current rules.

How residents experience their municipality
IJburg 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.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's a nice quiet neighbourhood on the edge of the city but still close to many good amenities that a city has to offer. The neighbourhood is still becoming more beautiful.
