Trompbuurt, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodThis 73 m² apartment on Reinier Claeszenstraat sits in the Trompbuurt, a lively part of Amsterdam's Geuzenbuurt. Built in 1922, it has been upgraded to energy label A, so you get the charm of an old building without the draughts. At €720,000, the price is in line with the market, similar apartments in Amsterdam average €9,305 per m², and this one works out at €9,863.
The Trompbuurt scores a 7.69 out of 10 from two reviews. One resident calls it a "cosy neighbourhood" with an ice cream shop and a playground, though they note that playgrounds for older children are lacking. Another describes a "pleasant atmosphere but not much neighbourhood feeling", with many students and expats creating a divide. The neighbourhood Trompbuurt is densely populated (11,559 addresses per km²) and mostly consists of flats, with a third owner-occupied. It's a young area: nearly half the residents are between 25 and 45.
For your morning bread, Albert Heijn is on your doorstep, and Aldi is just around the corner. Two primary schools are within a couple of streets away: De Visserschool and Admiraal De Ruyterschool. For secondary education, Marcanti College is a five-minute walk. The municipality Amsterdam offers plenty of restaurants and a park within walking distance, and a train station is 3.5 km away.

It's nice there and friendly people. But a sense of togetherness is lacking and I don't have much contact with my neighbours either, which I regret. My primary school days in this neighbourhood were really perfect and the restaurants and shops are also very good. But there are many students and expats, which makes me feel a certain divide and not much community. I myself would like to move out, but that's certainly not possible in my neighbourhood because they are far too expensive.
Auto-translated to English by AINice and cosy, there is an ice cream shop and a playground called de ruige speeltijn but now it's for babies because everything is getting super small, which is a shame, but the rest is great. We get along well and some of my friends live very close by, which is also nice. But I do think there should be more playgrounds for older children, because babies are fine at home too, but older kids just end up on their phones or laptops, so more playgrounds for older children, that's the only thing.

The nearest train station is 3.5 km away. That's about a 10-minute bike ride or a 15-minute bus journey. The area is well served by trams and buses, but for intercity trains you'll need to head to Amsterdam Centraal or Sloterdijk.
