Westlandgrachtbuurt, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on the Theophile de Bockstraat sits in a peaceful, tree-lined street in the Westlandgrachtbuurt. With 98 m² of living space, it is noticeably more generous than many homes in the area. The 1934 building has a B energy label, so heating costs should be manageable. At €925,000, the asking price is 36% above the neighbourhood average of €678,960, which reflects the larger floor area, 44% bigger than the typical 68 m². For context, this is one of 25 apartments currently for sale in the neighbourhood, and it sits at the higher end of the price range (€400,000,€1,560,000). If you are looking at apartments in Amsterdam, this one stands out for its size.
The Westlandgrachtbuurt is a calm, residential pocket of Amsterdam Oud-Zuid. With 3,650 residents, it has a mix of ages, many 25-to-45-year-olds, but also families with children and older people. The area feels safe and friendly, according to one resident, who describes it as 'quiet & familiar' and notes that 'many elderly people, families with kids, and starters live here, which makes you feel at home right away'. The same resident appreciates the 'nice bustle on the street' and the proximity to two parks: Vondelpark and Rembrandtpark, both within walking distance. Public transport is good, with a bus/tram stop nearby and a metro station not far off. For a closer look at the area, see the Westlandgrachtbuurt neighbourhood.
For your morning bread, the Dirk supermarket is just around the corner, and several Albert Heijn branches are a five-to-ten-minute walk away. Primary schools are very close: Cultuurprofielschool De Notenkraker and Oecumenische basisschool Nautilus are both on your doorstep. Secondary education is a ten-minute walk. A GP practice is just around the corner, and a restaurant is a couple of streets away. The neighbourhood is part of the municipality of Amsterdam, which means all the city's amenities, museums, theatres, and the city centre, are easily reachable by bike or tram.
At present, the home is listed through two channels, including A.W. Sabel Makelaardij o.g. The asking price is €925,000, and the property has been on the market for an unspecified period.

I've been living in this neighbourhood for almost a year now. I find it very pleasant, quiet & familiar. Many elderly people, families with kids, and starters live here, which makes you feel at home right away and there's some nice bustle on the street. Accessibility is fine; bus/tram station within walking distance & there's a metro station nearby. You're close to two parks: Vondelpark & Rembrandtpark, which is nice for the green surroundings. There are plenty of schools in the area for kids. Supermarkets, shops, restaurants within walking distance. It would be nice if some bakeries or more shops came to the neighbourhood, so it becomes even cosier and easier to stay in your own neighbourhood. Sports facilities are also nearby, which is very pleasant; I make good use of them. I have never felt unsafe for a moment; I feel that there are no people wandering around the neighbourhood who have no business being here.
