Based on three reviews, the Venserpolder-Oost neighbourhood gets mixed reactions. One resident says: "It's a very nice neighbourhood and there is a community centre called Boeninhuis and it's so nice there... everyone helps everyone when needed." Another describes it as "a very nice neighbourhood but it could be better." A third review is sharply critical, calling it "the hell in the Netherlands" and citing issues with safety and social cohesion. The neighbourhood is densely populated with 3,575 addresses per km², and most homes are flats (94%).
For your morning bread, Albert Heijn is just around the corner, and an AH to go is a ten-minute walk away at the station. Several schools are within walking distance: Bindelmeer College (secondary) is a couple of streets away, and primary school Klaverblad is a five-minute walk. The area falls under the municipality of Amsterdam, so you're part of a large city with all its amenities.
At present, the home is listed through several channels, including van der Linden Groep and other platforms.

I have quite a lot of experience with the neighbourhood; it's a very nice neighbourhood and there is a community centre called Boeninhuis and it's so nice there, the teacher helps a lot, there is a food bank, there are shops, and there is an AH to go at the station. It's a very pleasant neighbourhood to live in; everyone helps everyone when needed. There are many schools: BHC, TASC, Orion College, and another school next to Orion College, and Klaverblad, De Schakel, De Dreef. There is a school for almost everyone except havo/vwo students, but it's like a top neighbourhood. You can also do quite a lot here; it's quite safe here and you can get from Venserpolder to many places because there are metro stations, bus stations, train stations, buses that go abroad. The streets are sometimes clean, it depends on which block, but my block is clean, although here and there I still see litter. And the houses vary too: you have townhouses, you have flats, you have family homes, you have new homes, sometimes you have really big houses but also small ones like studios. It's a very nice neighbourhood, Venserpolder.

Auto-translated to English by AIThe racist, mentally broken, lowest class dirts come together in this neighbourhood. This is the hell in the Netherlands. The lowest, the ugliest ever seen. I've been all over the country. Really, either the government wants to keep this place like this to isolate the sick people from the rest of society, that's their plan, or I can't imagine they are not aware how critical the situation is in Venserpolder. They must put the cameras back on the streets and police must walk around a couple of times every day. There should be some places open where you can get back to the Amsterdam spirit. Cafes or cultural places for other than Surinamese culture. They are here being perfectly isolated and raise their kids racist against anything white and the government has no idea about it or they have some other sick plans. Because this neighbourhood needs a deep cleaning and social rebuilding!

About Simone de Beauvoirstraat 27, Amsterdam
The asking price of €425,000 is 29% above the neighbourhood average of €328,400 and also above the maximum of €375,000 for homes currently for sale in Venserpolder-Oost. However, this apartment is larger (72 m²) than the average (63 m²) and has a good energy label B. Whether it's fair depends on how much you value the extra space and efficiency.
Residents have very different views. One describes it as a pleasant, helpful community with a good community centre and many schools. Another says it's nice but could be better. A third review is extremely negative, citing racism, litter, and lack of safety. The area is densely built with flats, and there are parks nearby.

Several schools are within walking distance: Bindelmeer College (secondary, 190 m), Orion College Drostenburg (special secondary, 271 m), and primary school Klaverblad (400 m). There are also other schools like TASC Amsterdam and De Dreef in the area.

Safety perceptions vary. One resident says it's "quite safe," while another calls it "the hell in the Netherlands" and wants more police presence. The total number of crimes reported in the neighbourhood is 155, but without context it's hard to compare. It's best to visit at different times to get your own feel.
