About Swammerdamstraat 20-3, Amsterdam
The asking price of €900,000 is 1% above the WOZ value of €893,000, which was set on 1 January 2025. This means the asking price is slightly higher than the municipal valuation, but the difference is small. The WOZ value is not the same as the market value, but it gives an indication of how the municipality values the property for tax purposes.
According to the agent, the apartment has three rooms, two bedrooms, and one bathroom, spread over two floors. The living area is listed as 99 m² by the agent, while the BAG registration records 103 m². There is a balcony, and the home is located on the third floor. The property also has a central heating boiler and insulation including roof insulation, double glazing, and wall insulation.
The energy label is A, which is an efficient label. This means the home is relatively energy-efficient compared to less efficient labels. The agent also notes that the home has roof insulation, double glazing, and wall insulation, which contribute to its efficiency. However, the energy label does not guarantee specific energy costs, as these depend on usage and other factors.
The property is municipal ground lease, with the canon paid off until 16 January 2056. This means the ground lease has been prepaid for a long period, so there are no annual ground rent payments due until that date. After that, the situation may change, but that is far in the future.
The monthly homeowners' association contribution is €358.53. This fee is used for the maintenance of common areas, the building's exterior, and possibly other shared costs. The exact coverage depends on the association's budget and regulations, which are not detailed in the listing.
The address risk data indicates that road traffic noise is 49 dB Lden, which is above the noise standard. Railway and aircraft noise are below the standards. One resident of the municipality mentioned low-frequency noise from shipping on the Amsterdam-Rijnkanaal, but this is a general observation and not specific to this home.
The foundation risk indication is medium, based on area-level data. The building was constructed in 1880, before 1970, which is a factor in the risk assessment. However, this is an indication for the area, not an inspection of this specific home. A structural survey would be needed to determine the actual condition of the foundation.
According to the climate risk data, pluvial flooding risk is elevated, meaning there is a higher chance of flooding from heavy rain. The current flood risk from rivers or the sea is low, and it is expected to remain low by 2050. Heat stress is currently medium, but it is expected to become elevated by 2050. These are area-level indications and not specific to this home.

Along the Amstel there are friendly people, behind Cygnus the school I was almost robbed a couple of times by boys, but otherwise fine.

How residents experience their municipality
Een hele fijne, rustige buurt met veel groen en geweldige bomen die verkoeling en ontspanning bieden. 's nachts is het er stil en donker. Dat vind ik belangrijk voor de dieren. De buurt is goed bereikbaar met metro 54 en voorzieningen zijn op loopafstand in winkelcentrum de Poort. 1 ding is een ongelofelijke doorn in het oog en dat is de hygiene. Het is dagelijks een puinzoo bij de vuilcontainers. Zwerfafval waait overal naar toe. En hoewel we met een aantal bewoners dagelijks 'prikken' en opruimen is het een never ending story. Ik zou zo graag zien dat daar een oplossing voor komt.

Auto-translated to English by AIQuiet, peaceful, relaxed, green, social and a nice mix of people
Auto-translated to English by AII lived here for about 12 years. The neighbourhood has clear advantages: good connections by tram, bus and ferry/boat, plenty of supermarkets, gyms and practical amenities nearby. For me, however, there was one major drawback: structural low-frequency noise, demonstrably coming from commercial shipping on the Amsterdam-Rijnkanaal. If you are sensitive to that, it can be very burdensome. In my case, it was clearly noticeable indoors, especially at night. Neighbours said they slept with earplugs and extra insulation offered limited to no solution. The municipality took measurements at the time and acknowledged that the noise was significant, but indicated they could do little or nothing about it because the source fell outside their direct authority. My honest advice: visit this neighbourhood not only during the day, but also in the evening and at night, and pay specific attention to low-frequency humming or vibrations. For people sensitive to noise, I would personally strongly advise against this location.

Auto-translated to English by AINice, quiet and reasonably cosy neighbourhood. Good accessibility, the Amsterdam Forest nearby. Lots of different facilities within walking distance. Nice to live here with a family and pets! Quite a few schools within cycling distance. Hygiene in the neighbourhood is above the average level in Amsterdam. VUmc very close by.
Auto-translated to English by AIAt 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!
Auto-translated to English by AIBecause we are on the outskirts, there is no through traffic. In the middle of the street a large playground with a table tennis table and a small football pitch. And playground equipment. Behind our house only meadows.
