Willemsparkbuurt-Noord
Willemsparkbuurt-Noord is a quiet, leafy pocket of Amsterdam with a mix of families and professionals. The area has a strong urban feel, with over 8,300 addresses per km², yet it's surprisingly calm. One resident describes it as "boring" and notes: "Not much to do. Almost no greenery on the street, also gets extremely hot in summer. You never see anyone walking around and rubbish is collected on time. But extremely noisy with construction workers starting at 7 am." That's based on a single review. The neighbourhood Willemsparkbuurt-Noord is home to around 1,540 people, with many households without children and a high proportion of owner-occupied homes.

Families have several schools nearby, including De Kleine Nicolaas primary school (a couple of streets away) and Het Amsterdams Lyceum secondary school (a five-minute walk).

Frequently asked questions
About Sophialaan 23A, Amsterdam
Is €1,650,000 a fair price for this apartment?
The asking price of €1,650,000 is 47% below the neighbourhood average of €3,129,815, but the apartment is also 41% smaller than the average home in the area (110 m² vs 187 m²). Given the location and size, the price is keen compared to other listings in Willemsparkbuurt-Noord.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The energy label is C, which is average for a pre-war apartment. You can expect moderate energy costs, but it's not as efficient as modern homes. In the neighbourhood, about 33% of homes have label A or better, so this one is slightly less efficient than the newer stock.

Is there a garden or outdoor space?
The listing does not mention a garden or terrace.
How many bedrooms does this apartment have?
