Overtoomse Veld-Zuid, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodThis two-bedroom apartment on Postjesweg sits in the heart of Amsterdam Nieuw-West. At 63 m² it's compact but well laid out, with an energy label D, something to factor in for heating costs. The asking price of €395,000 is keen compared to the neighbourhood average of €492,786, making it one of the more affordable apartments in Amsterdam.
The neighbourhood Overtoomse Veld-Zuid is densely built and very urban, with over 5,900 addresses per km². One resident describes it as 'pretty decent': '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 note the area is green and cosy, but the streets are dirty and the buildings ugly. The neighbourhood has a young population, nearly half are between 25 and 45, and many single-person households.
For your morning bread, Lidl is just around the corner, and Albert Heijn is a couple of streets away. Primary school OBS de Toekomst is on your doorstep, and secondary school DENISE is a five-minute walk. The municipality Amsterdam offers everything you'd expect from a major city, though for clothes shopping you'll need to head to the centre.
At the time of writing the home is listed via several channels, including River Makelaardij and Funda. The asking price is €395,000.

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.

About Postjesweg 443, Amsterdam
The asking price is 20% below the neighbourhood average of €492,786, which makes it one of the cheaper options in Overtoomse Veld-Zuid. However, the apartment has an energy label D, while most homes for sale in the area have a better label. That could affect running costs and resale value.
The energy label is D. In the neighbourhood, 28.6% of homes have label A or A+, and 19% have label B, so this apartment is less efficient than many others on the market. You can expect higher energy bills compared to a more modern home.
One resident says they 'almost never feel unsafe' despite occasional explosions. The total number of crimes recorded in the area is 289, but without context it's hard to judge. The resident, a tall man, feels safe walking around, but notes the reputation is partly justified.
A Lidl supermarket is 105 metres away, and an Albert Heijn is 129 metres. Primary school OBS de Toekomst is 214 metres, and secondary school DENISE is 271 metres. A train station is 1 km away, and the city centre is a short cycle.
