Aalsmeerwegbuurt-West, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodThis first-floor apartment on Stolwijkstraat sits in a lively part of Amsterdam, with the Vondelpark just a short walk away. At 52 m² it's compact but well laid out, and the 1929 building gives it a solid, pre-war feel. The asking price of €549,000 is keen compared to the neighbourhood average, about 15% below the typical €644,618, which makes it a relatively accessible entry into this part of the city. For context, that's in line with what you'd see for apartments in Amsterdam of this size.
This is a dense, inner-city neighbourhood with a very high address density, over 6,800 addresses per km², so it feels thoroughly urban. Yet it's surprisingly quiet on the residential streets. Most homes are apartments, and the area is popular with singles and couples: nearly half of households are one-person, and the average household size is just 1.7. There are few children, so the vibe is more young professionals and downsizers than families. The neighbourhood has a good mix of incomes, and the streets are lined with pre-war architecture. No resident reviews are available for this specific area, but the general impression is of a calm, well-connected residential pocket.
For your morning coffee or evening meal, there's a restaurant just a couple of streets away. The nearest supermarket, an Albert Heijn, is on your doorstep, and a Dirk is just around the corner, so daily groceries are easy. For families, there are several schools within walking distance: a special primary school (SBO Tobiasschool) is just around the corner, and primary schools like Oecumenische basisschool Nautilus and Cultuurprofielschool De Notenkraker are a five-minute walk. The neighbourhood is part of the municipality of Amsterdam, which means all the city's amenities, museums, parks, public transport, are easily accessible.
The apartment is listed through several channels, including Dop Makelaars and Funda. At the time of writing, it's available via three sources, so you can compare listings easily.

About Stolwijkstraat 27-1, Amsterdam
The asking price is about 15% below the neighbourhood average of €644,618, which makes it keenly priced. The median price in the area is €570,000, so this apartment sits below that too. Given the 52 m² floor area, the price per m² works out to roughly €10,558, which is slightly above the neighbourhood average of €9,781 per m², but that's because smaller apartments often command a higher per-m² rate.
The apartment has an energy label C, which is fairly typical for a pre-war building in this neighbourhood, over 56% of homes here have label C. Label C means the home is reasonably efficient but not top-tier; you can expect moderate energy bills. It's not as efficient as a modern build, but it's a solid middle ground for a 1929 apartment.
The nearest train station is 2.1 km away, which is about a 25-minute walk or a short bike ride. That's a bit further than the city centre, but the area is well served by trams and buses, so you're still well connected.
You have an Albert Heijn just 209 metres away, literally on your doorstep, and a Dirk at 267 metres. That covers your daily groceries easily. There's also a restaurant at 200 metres for eating out. For more extensive shopping, the Hoofddorpplein shopping area is a short walk.
Yes, several. A special primary school (SBO Tobiasschool) is 190 metres away, and a secondary school (Tobiasschool VMBO) is 222 metres. For regular primary education, Oecumenische basisschool Nautilus is 512 metres and Cultuurprofielschool De Notenkraker is 528 metres, both within a ten-minute walk.
At the time of writing, there are 34 apartments for sale in Aalsmeerwegbuurt-West. The average asking price is €644,618, and the median is €570,000. Homes here sell relatively quickly, the average time on the market for sold properties is 37 days.
The address density is 6,865 per km², which puts it in the 'very strongly urban' category (level 1 out of 5). That means you're in a dense city neighbourhood with all the amenities that come with it, shops, restaurants, public transport, but the residential streets themselves are quiet.
The listing does not mention a garden, balcony, or terrace. Given that this is a first-floor apartment in a pre-war building, it's unlikely to have private outdoor space, but you're close to parks, the nearest park or public garden is 400 metres away.
