About Ruyschstraat 87R, Amsterdam
The asking price of €825,000 is 32% above the neighbourhood average of €625,300. However, this apartment is larger (99 m²) than the average (80 m²) and was built in 2005, while most homes in the area date from before 1945. The price per m² works out to about €8,333, which is in line with the neighbourhood average of €8,033 per m². Whether it's fair depends on how you value the modern build and size.
The energy label is C, which is an official registration from EP-Online. Label C is in the middle of the scale: it's not the most efficient, but not the least either. Expect moderate energy costs. In the neighbourhood, 46.2% of homes have label A, 23.1% label B, and 19.2% label C, so this home is around the average for the area.

How residents experience their neighbourhood
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!
Auto-translated to English by AIA stone's throw from Oosterpark you'll find Tweede Boerhaavestraat 70h. The street is remarkably quiet, which makes the neighbourhood unique, because at the same time we are surrounded by various theatres, eateries, shops and other centres. Enjoy living here every day.

How residents experience their district
Lots of crime in the neighbourhood
Auto-translated to English by AII've been living on Vrolikstraat in Oost for over six months now and I feel so happy here. Ten minutes by bike from my work, a green quiet street, and yet right in the middle of the most beautiful city in the country (in the world)!

How residents experience their municipality
IJburg is a new district still under development and it's getting better with all the amenities and a beach nearby. And you're also quickly out of the city and into the greenery.
Auto-translated to English by AIQuiet, peaceful, relaxed, green, social and a nice mix of people
Auto-translated to English by AII lived here for about 12 years. The neighbourhood has clear advantages: good connections by tram, bus and ferry/boat, plenty of supermarkets, gyms and practical amenities nearby. For me, however, there was one major drawback: structural low-frequency noise, demonstrably coming from commercial shipping on the Amsterdam-Rijnkanaal. If you are sensitive to that, it can be very burdensome. In my case, it was clearly noticeable indoors, especially at night. Neighbours said they slept with earplugs and extra insulation offered limited to no solution. The municipality took measurements at the time and acknowledged that the noise was significant, but indicated they could do little or nothing about it because the source fell outside their direct authority. My honest advice: visit this neighbourhood not only during the day, but also in the evening and at night, and pay specific attention to low-frequency humming or vibrations. For people sensitive to noise, I would personally strongly advise against this location.

Auto-translated to English by AINice, quiet and reasonably cosy neighbourhood. Good accessibility, the Amsterdam Forest nearby. Lots of different facilities within walking distance. Nice to live here with a family and pets! Quite a few schools within cycling distance. Hygiene in the neighbourhood is above the average level in Amsterdam. VUmc very close by.
Auto-translated to English by AIAt the end of the Silodam lies the striking MVRDV building. Surrounded by water on all sides. Every apartment has a view of the IJ and/or the Oude Houthaven. The views are therefore phenomenal and every day is different due to the weather. The sunrises and sunsets are unbeatable. Because the building is at the end of the Silodam, there is no through traffic and every person is either a resident or a visitor. This makes it, by Amsterdam standards, an exceptionally safe living environment. There is little turnover. The residents of this building form a close-knit community. A nice mix of families with and without children and single people who help each other where needed. And that too is a special quality in an increasingly transient Amsterdam. Within walking distance are the Haarlemmerdijk and the markets where you can find all the hustle and bustle if you feel like it. On the Silodam there is peace and quiet, a delight for body and mind. The wind, the seagulls, the waves on the IJ, the boats, occasionally a cruise ship, and every 5 years Sail! A little paradise in Amsterdam? Absolutely!
Auto-translated to English by AIBecause we are on the outskirts, there is no through traffic. In the middle of the street a large playground with a table tennis table and a small football pitch. And playground equipment. Behind our house only meadows.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's a nice quiet neighbourhood on the edge of the city but still close to many good amenities that a city has to offer. The neighbourhood is still becoming more beautiful.
