Overtoomse Veld-Zuid, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodThis 74 m² apartment on Postjesweg sits in Overtoomse Veld-Zuid, a part of Amsterdam Nieuw-West that's greener and more diverse than its reputation suggests. At €449,000, the asking price is below the neighbourhood average of €492,786, which makes it a keen entry point for a home of this size, especially compared to other apartments in Amsterdam.
One resident describes the neighbourhood Overtoomse Veld-Zuid as "Pretty decent" (score 6.63 out of 10). They note: "It doesn't have a very good reputation, which is partly justified but partly not so bad. Yes, every now and then you hear an explosion, which certainly isn't pleasant, but when you walk through the neighbourhood there's also a lot of diversity and I almost never feel unsafe." They also mention the greenery and cosiness, though the streets can be dirty. The area is densely built with mostly flats, and many households are singles or couples without children.
For daily groceries, you have a Lidl just around the corner and an Albert Heijn a couple of streets away. There's also an AH to go within a ten-minute walk. Schools are close: OBS de Toekomst primary school is on your doorstep, and the DENISE secondary school is just around the corner. The municipality Amsterdam offers all the cultural and shopping amenities you'd expect, with the city centre a short cycle away.
At the time of writing, the home is listed via Makelaarsland and also appears on Funda, so it's available through several channels.

I live in Nieuw-West in Amsterdam. It doesn't have a very good reputation, which is partly justified but partly not so bad. Yes, every now and then you hear an explosion, which certainly isn't pleasant, but when you walk through the neighbourhood there's also a lot of diversity and I almost never feel unsafe (though that doesn't say much as a 1.90m man). Furthermore, it can be very cosy and there's a lot of greenery in the area, which is also very nice. The buildings are ugly, but I can live with that. The street is also very dirty, because apparently nobody cares about nature and the streetscape, so everything gets thrown on the street. In terms of amenities, there's enough, but if I need clothes, for example, I have to go to the city centre, so that's why it's not rated very high but still sufficient. The city centre is (by Amsterdam standards) fortunately not very far to cycle and there's also a train station nearby and the metro goes there too.
