Mediocre · 1 resident
Have lived here quite a long time. Too long. It's getting busier and busier with tourists. Houses are in poor condition, lots of damp and mould, and very small and noisy. Many people with kids are moving elsewhere. Lots of rubbish in the streets and a lot of nuisance from pubs and restaurants. Noise from passers-by and tourists, especially in summer.

About Ruysdaelkade 95A, Amsterdam
The asking price of €725,000 is below the neighbourhood average of €768,250 and the median of €760,000. Given the 63 m² floor area, the price per m² works out to about €11,508, which is slightly above the neighbourhood average of €10,103 per m². So it's a bit on the high side per square metre, but the total price is competitive for the area.
The apartment has energy label C. This is a reasonable rating for a 1893 building; it means the home is moderately energy-efficient. You can expect average heating costs, but it's not as efficient as modern builds. In the neighbourhood, 31.3% of homes have label A, 6.3% label B, and 43.8% label C, so this is in line with many older properties.
The neighbourhood is very busy, with a very high address density of 9988 per km². One resident says it's a "busy neighbourhood with many tourists" and that "it's getting busier and busier with tourists." Noise from passers-by, pubs, and restaurants is common, especially in summer. The streets can be littered, and many families with children are moving out.
The nearest train station is 2.8 km away, so it's not within walking distance for a quick trip. The high density of the neighbourhood means many amenities are within walking distance.
Yes, a park or public garden is just 0.4 km away, about a five-minute walk. This is a welcome escape from the busy streets. The neighbourhood itself is very urban with little green space, so the nearby park is a key asset.
