Overtoomse Veld-Zuid, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodThis 2015-built apartment on Theodoor van Hoytemastraat sits in a part of Amsterdam Nieuw-West that's greener than its reputation suggests. At 45 m² it's compact, and with a price of €436,000 it's on the high side compared to the neighbourhood average of €492,786 for larger homes. For context, apartments in Amsterdam vary widely, but this one's energy label A+ keeps running costs low.
One resident describes the area as "Pretty decent" and notes: "I live in Nieuw-West in Amsterdam. It doesn't have a very good reputation, which is partly justified but partly not so bad. Yes, every now and then you hear an explosion, which certainly isn't pleasant, but when you walk through the neighbourhood there's also a lot of diversity and I almost never feel unsafe (though that doesn't say much as a 1.90m man). Furthermore, it can be very cosy and there's a lot of greenery in the area, which is also very nice. The buildings are ugly, but I can live with that. The street is also very dirty, because apparently nobody cares about nature and the streetscape, so everything gets thrown on the street." The neighbourhood Overtoomse Veld-Zuid is densely populated with many single-person households, and the average income is below the city average.
For daily groceries, a Lidl is just around the corner and an Albert Heijn is a couple of streets away. There's also an AH to go within a five-minute walk. Several schools are nearby: OBS de Toekomst (primary) is a couple of streets away, and there are special education schools even closer. The municipality Amsterdam offers extensive amenities, but for clothing shopping you'd head to the city centre, which is a ten-minute cycle.
At the time of writing the home is listed via Huispedia and ME Makelaars B.V. on Funda.

I live in Nieuw-West in Amsterdam. It doesn't have a very good reputation, which is partly justified but partly not so bad. Yes, every now and then you hear an explosion, which certainly isn't pleasant, but when you walk through the neighbourhood there's also a lot of diversity and I almost never feel unsafe (though that doesn't say much as a 1.90m man). Furthermore, it can be very cosy and there's a lot of greenery in the area, which is also very nice. The buildings are ugly, but I can live with that. The street is also very dirty, because apparently nobody cares about nature and the streetscape, so everything gets thrown on the street. In terms of amenities, there's enough, but if I need clothes, for example, I have to go to the city centre, so that's why it's not rated very high but still sufficient. The city centre is (by Amsterdam standards) fortunately not very far to cycle and there's also a train station nearby and the metro goes there too.
