Rembrandtplein en omgeving, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodThis apartment sits on a quiet street in the heart of Amsterdam, with the buzz of the city just outside your door. At 53 m², it's compact but well laid out, and the B energy label means it's reasonably efficient. The asking price of €350,000 is well below the neighbourhood average of €1.68 million, largely because this home is much smaller than the typical 163 m² in the area. Compared to other apartments in Amsterdam, it's a relatively affordable entry point.
Rembrandtplein e.o. is one of Amsterdam's most central areas, packed with restaurants, bars and shops. It's a lively, urban environment with a very high address density of over 9,000 per km². The population is young, most residents are between 25 and 45, and many live alone. There are few families with children, and the streets are busy day and night. For a quieter pace, the Rembrandtplein e.o. neighbourhood might not be the first choice, but if you want to be in the thick of it, this is it.
Your daily shopping is easy: Albert Heijn is just around the corner, and there's an AH to go and a SPAR within a couple of streets away. For fresh organic produce, Ekoplaza is a five-minute walk. There are several primary schools nearby, including De Witte Olifant (a five-minute walk) and ASVO (a ten-minute walk). The area is well served by public transport, and the city centre is on your doorstep. The municipality of Amsterdam offers everything you'd expect from a capital city.

Details of this home

The asking price of €350,000 is 79% below the neighbourhood average of €1.68 million, but that average is skewed by much larger homes. The median price in the area is €650,000, and this apartment is 53 m², which is 67% smaller than the neighbourhood average of 163 m². So the price per square metre is around €6,600, which is below the neighbourhood average of €9,778. It's a market-rate price for a compact apartment in this central location.
The energy label is B, which means the home is reasonably energy-efficient. You can expect moderate heating costs, though older buildings in the area (84.6% were built before 1945) often have less insulation. Label B is a good middle ground, not as efficient as A or A+, but far better than D or lower.
Rembrandtplein e.o. is one of Amsterdam's liveliest areas, with a restaurant just 70 metres away and countless bars and clubs within walking distance. The area is very urban and busy, especially in the evenings. If you enjoy being close to nightlife, this is ideal, but it's not a quiet residential area.
The neighbourhood is very well connected. The nearest train station is 2.07 km away, but trams and buses run frequently through the area. Many central destinations are within walking distance.
The area has a high number of recorded incidents (1,030 total), which is typical for a very central, busy neighbourhood with many visitors. It's a safe area in general, but you should expect the usual city-centre noise and activity. Petty crime like bike theft can occur.
Given the compact size and central location, this apartment is likely to appeal to singles or couples without children. The neighbourhood has many one-person households (400 out of 900 residents) and few families. It's a typical starter home or pied-à-terre in the city centre.
Yes, there are several primary schools within walking distance. De Witte Olifant is 533 metres away, ASVO is 660 metres, and St. Antoniusschool is 744 metres. Secondary schools are a bit further, at 1.36 km on average. The area is well served for young families, though the neighbourhood itself has few children.

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 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.
