Houthavens-Oost, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodThis apartment sits at the end of the Silodam, in the striking MVRDV building that juts into the IJ. Surrounded by water on three sides, every room has a view that changes with the weather, sunrises, sunsets, boats drifting by. At 90 m² with an energy label B, it's a comfortable home in a truly special spot. The asking price of €700,000 is 32% below the neighbourhood average of €1,023,333, making it a keen option compared to other apartments in Amsterdam.
The neighbourhood Houthavens-Oost is a small enclave of 640 residents, with a mix of families and singles. One resident describes it as "the best spot on the water in Amsterdam" and notes that "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 community is close-knit, with little turnover, a rarity in the city. Most homes are owner-occupied (56%), and the area feels peaceful despite being in the heart of the capital.
For your morning bread, Jumbo is just around the corner, and Albert Heijn is a couple of streets away. Three primary schools are within a five-minute walk: De Zeeheld, Montessori Basisschool de Eilanden, and Daltonschool De Spaarndammerhout. The municipality Amsterdam offers everything you'd expect from a world-class city, yet the Silodam itself remains a quiet haven. The Haarlemmerdijk with its shops and markets is a ten-minute walk away, and the central station is about 1.9 km, a pleasant stroll along the water.
At the time of writing the home is listed via several channels, including Makelaar in Amsterdam B.V., Funda, Pararius, and Vastgoed Nederland.

Silodam 447, 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!
