Houthavens-Oost, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodThis listing on Silodam is for a home in the striking MVRDV building at the end of the quay, surrounded by water on three sides. This listing does not state a house number, floor area, year of construction or energy label. As a result, the rest of this page is mainly about the street and the neighbourhood, not the home itself. At €895,000, the price sits below the neighbourhood median of €1,150,000, but without the floor area it is hard to say how it compares per square metre. For context, other homes in Amsterdam vary widely.
Houthavens-Oost is a tiny neighbourhood of just 640 residents, almost all living in apartments. It is exceptionally urban, with an address density of 4,654 per km². One resident describes it as "a little paradise in Amsterdam", praising the phenomenal views, the safe environment with no through traffic, and the close-knit community of families and singles. "The wind, the seagulls, the waves on the IJ, the boats, occasionally a cruise ship, and every 5 years Sail!" The neighbourhood Houthavens-Oost has a mix of ages, with many residents between 45 and 65, and a high proportion of single-person households.
For your morning bread, Albert Heijn and Jumbo are both just around the corner, and Ekoplaza is a couple of streets away. Two primary schools are within a five-minute walk: De Zeeheld and Montessori Basisschool de Eilanden. The municipality Amsterdam offers plenty of cultural amenities, with a restaurant just around the corner and the Haarlemmerdijk markets a ten-minute walk away for weekend shopping.
At the time of writing the home is listed only via Makelaarsland. The agent has not published the full property details, so the information here is based on the street and neighbourhood alone.

Silodam, 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!

The three homes currently for sale in Houthavens-Oost range from €695,000 to €1,225,000, so this listing sits at the lower end of that range.
