Prinses Irenebuurt, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on Parnassusweg sits in a quiet, leafy pocket of Amsterdam Zuid. With 80 m² of living space and an energy label B, it's a practical home for someone who wants a solid base in a well-connected part of the city. The rent of €2,900 is 13% below the neighbourhood average of €3,333, so it's keenly priced compared to other rentals in the area. Apartments in Amsterdam are in short supply, and this one is a fair deal for the size and location.
The Prinses Irenebuurt is a residential area with a mix of families and older residents. Around a third of homes are single-family houses, and three-quarters are owner-occupied, so the rental market here is relatively small. The neighbourhood has a strong urban feel, address density is high at 4,578 addresses per km², but it's not hectic. There are no resident reviews available for this area, but the CBS data shows a balanced age spread and a low crime rate of 115 incidents total.
For daily groceries, Albert Heijn is just around the corner, and there's an AH to go even closer. Several primary schools are within a five-minute walk, including the Tweede Openluchtschool and Olympiaschool. Secondary education is also nearby, with Spinoza Lyceum just 189 m away. The train station is a ten-minute walk, making it easy to reach the city centre or Schiphol. The neighbourhood has a park or public garden within a five-minute walk, so there's green space to enjoy.

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.
