Paramaribostraat 105-1
Paramariboplein en omgeving, Amsterdam
AreaA spacious pre-war apartment in a quiet corner of Amsterdam
This apartment on the Paramaribostraat sits in a leafy, peaceful part of the city, a world away from the bustle of the centre, yet still within easy reach of everything you need. With 95 m² of living space, it is a good deal larger than the average apartment in the neighbourhood, which tends to be around 69 m². The asking price of €795,000 is 25% above the local average of €634,359, so it is on the high side, but you are paying for extra space and a sought-after pre-war character. For context, apartments in Amsterdam vary widely in price and size.
Paramariboplein e.o., a neighbourhood of contrasts
The neighbourhood Paramariboplein e.o. is a mixed area with a strong sense of community. One resident describes it as a 'Quiet and beautiful part of Amsterdam', adding: 'It'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.' Another calls it 'Cosy', noting 'lots of squares for your children and also many babysitting houses, so actually perfect for a family'. A third review is less positive, saying the neighbourhood has 'deteriorated extremely' with antisocial residents and untidy streets. Based on three reviews, the average score is 6.38 out of 10. The area is densely populated (over 10,000 addresses per km²) and mostly consists of flats, with many young adults and singles.

Frequently asked questions
About Paramaribostraat 105-1, Amsterdam
Is €795,000 a fair price for this apartment?
The asking price is 25% above the average asking price in the neighbourhood (€634,359). However, this apartment is also 38% larger than the average (95 m² vs 69 m²). The price per m² works out at about €8,368, which is slightly below the neighbourhood average of €9,346 per m². So while the total price is high, you are getting more space for your money.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The energy label is C, which is average for a pre-war apartment. In the neighbourhood, 47.2% of homes have label C, and 30.6% have a lower label (D or worse). Label C means reasonable energy efficiency, but you can expect moderate heating costs. The home was built in 1930, so it may have original features but also older insulation.
How is the public transport connection?
The nearest train station is 1.9 km away, which is about a 20-minute walk or a short cycle. The high address density (over 10,000 per km²) indicates a very urban environment with frequent public transport.
What is the neighbourhood like for families?
Reviews are mixed. One resident says it is 'perfect for a family' with squares and babysitting houses. Another mentions antisocial behaviour and untidy gardens. The neighbourhood has 420 households with children out of 1,060 households, so about 40% have kids. There are several primary schools within walking distance, including OBS Corantijn just 93 m away.
Is there a garden or balcony?
The listing does not mention a garden, balcony, or terrace. The plot size is not given, so it is unclear if there is any outdoor space. Pre-war apartments in Amsterdam often have a small balcony or shared garden, but this is not confirmed.
What is the crime rate in the area?
In the most recent data, there were 199 total crimes reported in the neighbourhood. This is a moderate number for a densely populated urban area. One review mentions antisocial behaviour, but the overall crime rate is not exceptionally high.
