Timorpleinbuurt-Noord, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodThis first-floor apartment on Soendastraat sits in the lively Timorpleinbuurt-Noord, part of Amsterdam's Indische Buurt. With 46 m² of living space, it's compact but full of character, typical of the early 1900s architecture that defines the area. The energy label E means heating costs will be noticeable, but the asking price of €410,000 is keen compared to the neighbourhood average of €545,254, partly because the home is smaller than the local norm. For context, apartments in Amsterdam vary widely in price and size.

I don't think the neighbourhood is extremely special, but I do like the atmosphere and there are nice people living here. I would like to see a bit more greenery, like more flowers and plants. That would make the neighbourhood a bit cosier. Also, there is often litter on the streets, which doesn't look nice and especially not cosy. Other than that, I'm happy with my neighbourhood!

Energy label E indicates the home is not very energy-efficient, so you can expect higher heating and electricity bills compared to a better-rated property.
