I've lived here my whole life and it's a nice neighbourhood. Everything is nearby, from Albert Heijn to the hairdresser. Also, Oosterpark is within walking distance and there are plenty of trams and buses passing by. It's not quite the centre of Amsterdam and therefore (apart from the HvA students) very quiet and chill. There are also many schools, Basisschool Aldoende or the HvA, always a place to learn! However, a downside is the rubbish; bins and containers are often overused, so in some places, especially in summer, it can smell really bad. Speaking of people, there are plenty! Just like houses, there are many family apartments and studios, so a mix of solo living and family life! So overall, a nice and educational neighbourhood!

About Ruyschstraat 102-1, Amsterdam
The asking price of €475,000 is 24% below the neighbourhood average of €625,300, but the apartment is also smaller than average (53 m² vs 80 m²). The price per m² works out to about €8,962, which is slightly above the neighbourhood average of €8,033 per m². So while the total price is low, you're paying a premium per square metre.
The energy label is D. In the neighbourhood, 46.2% of homes have label A and 23.1% have label B, so this home is less efficient than most. Label D means you can expect higher energy costs compared to a modern, well-insulated home.
The nearest train station is 1.8 km away, which is about a 20-minute walk or a short tram ride. The area is well served by trams and buses, so you can reach the city centre easily.
