Houthavens-Oost, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodThis apartment sits at the end of the Silodam, in the striking MVRDV building that juts out into the IJ. Every room looks out over water, with sunrises and sunsets that residents call 'unbeatable'. At €1,150,000, the price is in line with the median for apartments in Amsterdam, though the 87 m² floor area and A+ energy label add real value.
The building forms a small, stable community. One resident describes it as 'a little paradise in Amsterdam', noting that there is no through traffic and that neighbours help each other. The mix of families, singles and older residents creates a safe, friendly atmosphere. Most homes in the area are pre-war (75%), and the neighbourhood has a very high density of addresses (4,654 per km²), typical of central Amsterdam. For more on the area, see neighbourhood Houthavens-Oost.

Two primary schools, De Zeeheld and Montessori Basisschool de Eilanden, are within a five-minute walk. When you want city life, the Haarlemmerdijk and its markets are a ten-minute walk away. The municipality Amsterdam offers all the cultural and practical amenities you'd expect from the capital.

Details of this home
Silodam 199, 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!
