A pre-war apartment in Amsterdam's Transvaalbuurt-West

This apartment on the Vaalrivierstraat sits in a lively part of Amsterdam, with the city's energy right on your doorstep. At 48 m² it's compact but efficient, and with an energy label B it's reasonably efficient for a 1931 build. The asking price of €465,000 is in line with the market, the median in the neighbourhood is €450,000, so this one is priced keenly for its size. For context, apartments in Amsterdam average around €9,282 per m², and this one works out at about €9,688 per m², which is competitive.

The area is dominated by pre-war housing (87.5% built before 1945), and most homes are rentals (74%). Based on three reviews, opinions are divided: one long-term resident says, 'I have lived in the Transvaalbuurt for 79 years… I still live there with great pleasure!', while another describes it as 'Not a great neighbourhood', citing social tensions. The overall score is 6.88 out of 10, so it's a mixed bag.

Not a great neighbourhood

People are not okay, they talk too much about you with lies, attack you without reason and believe what other people say about you without asking what your story is.

A wonderful neighbourhood to live in

I have lived in the Transvaalbuurt for 79 years. Over those years I have seen many changes, but I still live there with great pleasure! And I will continue to do so until the very end! Transvaal is my life!

Frequently asked questions

About Vaalrivierstraat 3B, Amsterdam

Is €465,000 a fair price for this apartment?

The asking price of €465,000 is close to the neighbourhood median of €450,000 and below the average of €519,586. At roughly €9,688 per m², it's slightly above the neighbourhood average of €9,282 per m², but given the energy label B and the central location, it's priced in line with the market.

What is the energy label and what does it mean?

The apartment has an energy label B, which is good for a building from 1931. It means the home is reasonably energy-efficient, so you can expect moderate heating costs. In the neighbourhood, only 13.3% of homes have label A or better, so this is above average.

How far is the nearest train station?

The nearest train station is 1.0 km away, which is about a ten-minute walk. This makes it convenient for commuting to other parts of Amsterdam or further afield.

What are the neighbours like?

Based on three reviews, opinions vary. One resident who has lived there for 79 years loves it, while another reports social issues. The average score is 6.88 out of 10. The area has a mix of ages, with many singles (1,315 one-person households) and a significant number of residents aged 25-45.

What shops and schools are nearby?

There are several supermarkets within a five-minute walk, including Albert Heijn (327 m), Vomar (426 m) and Lidl (490 m). Primary schools like Integraal Kindcentrum De Kaap (241 m) and IBS De Vijgenboom (300 m) are close, as is Cygnus Gymnasium (458 m) for secondary education.

How safe is the neighbourhood?

The neighbourhood recorded 187 total crimes in the latest data, but without a per-capita figure it's hard to compare. One review mentions social tensions, but another long-term resident feels safe. It's a dense urban area, so typical city precautions apply.

What is the typical time to sell in this area?

Homes in the neighbourhood that sold recently took an average of 36 days to sell. This suggests a reasonably active market, though not exceptionally fast.

Is the apartment suitable for a couple?

At 48 m² with one bedroom (not stated but typical for this size), it's compact but fine for a couple or a single person.
