Houthavens-Oost, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodThis rental apartment on the Silodam sits at the end of the pier, surrounded by water on three sides. The striking MVRDV building is a landmark, and every apartment looks out over the IJ or the Oude Houthaven. At 72 m², it is 37% smaller than the neighbourhood average, and the rent of €2,950 is on the high side compared to the median of €6,375 in the area, though that figure is skewed by a small sample. For context, see other apartments in Amsterdam.
The building forms a small community of its own. One resident describes it as "Best spot on the water in Amsterdam", adding: "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." The neighbourhood itself, neighbourhood Houthavens-Oost, has 640 residents, mostly singles and couples, with a mix of ages. The area is very densely built-up (4,654 addresses per km²), yet the waterfront location gives it a peaceful feel.
For your morning bread, Jumbo is just around the corner, and Albert Heijn is a couple of streets away. There are several primary schools within walking distance: De Zeeheld is a five-minute walk, Montessori Basisschool de Eilanden is just around the corner, and Daltonschool De Spaarndammerhout is a ten-minute walk. The Haarlemmerdijk with its shops and markets is also within easy reach. The municipality Amsterdam offers all the city's amenities, yet here you have peace and quiet.

Silodam 183, Amsterdam
Excellent · 1 resident
At 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!
