Jacob Geelbuurt, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodThis 56 m² apartment on the second floor of a 1957 building sits in the Jacob Geelbuurt, a neighbourhood in the Slotervaart-Noord district. With an energy label C, it's reasonably efficient. The asking price of €400,000 is keen compared to the neighbourhood average of €492,417, about 19% lower. For context, apartments in Amsterdam vary widely, but this one is priced to move.
The Jacob Geelbuurt is densely built-up with a mix of families and singles. Two residents have shared their experiences. One says: "It's a 7.2 in total and yes what else actually? For the rest I'm just very rich as a student." Another describes it as a "restless neighbourhood with many unstable families," adding that "there are genuinely friendly people, but due to the decline of this neighbourhood, you see/sense that people live on islands." The neighbourhood Jacob Geelbuurt has a high density of addresses (4,662 per km²) and a crime rate of 290 incidents, something to be aware of.
For groceries, you have a Lidl just around the corner and an Albert Heijn a couple of streets away. The Huizingaschool is a five-minute walk for primary education, while secondary schools like Het Hervormd Lyceum West and Comenius Lyceum Amsterdam are also within walking distance. The municipality Amsterdam offers extensive amenities, with a park or public garden just a couple of streets away and a restaurant on your doorstep.
At the time of writing, the home is listed via Wester Makelaars B.V. and also appears on Funda, so it's available through several channels.

I said it already
Auto-translated to English by AIPartly due to nuisance from next-door neighbours (which borders on harassing behaviour), I feel powerless against negative behaviour and intimidation from others. There are genuinely friendly people, but due to the decline of this neighbourhood, you see/sense that people live on islands. Little genuine involvement or social behaviour from others, little empathy or taking responsibility for one's own behaviour, aggression/aggressive behaviour, and that makes the living environment (also indoors) offer little to no safety. I write from daily experience and it is sickening. The housing shortage and rules offer no other escape options. Very sad.

About Petrus Blokhof 7-2, Amsterdam
The asking price of €400,000 is 19% below the average asking price in the Jacob Geelbuurt (€492,417) and also below the median of €412,500. Recently sold homes in the neighbourhood went for an average of €431,970, so this apartment is priced competitively. However, it's a 56 m² unit with energy label C, built in 1957, so the lower price reflects its size and age.
The Jacob Geelbuurt is a very urban area with a high density of addresses. It has a mix of families and singles, but resident reviews are mixed: one gives it a 7.2 overall, while another describes it as restless with nuisance from neighbours. The crime rate is 290 incidents, which is relatively high. It's a lively, diverse area but not without its challenges.
The nearest train station is 1.5 km away, which is about a 15-20 minute walk or a short bus ride. This gives you access to the wider Amsterdam region and beyond.
Primary schools within walking distance include Huizingaschool (225 m) and Huibersschool Dalton basisschool (335 m). For secondary education, Het Hervormd Lyceum West (238 m) and Comenius Lyceum Amsterdam (245 m) are both close by. There are also other options within a few hundred metres.

The apartment has energy label C, which is average for a home of this age. It means the property is reasonably energy-efficient but not top-tier.
