Cornelis Schuytbuurt, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodA grand apartment on Van Breestraat
This spacious apartment on Van Breestraat 142H sits in the heart of Amsterdam's Museumkwartier, a stone's throw from the Concertgebouw and the chic shops of the Cornelis Schuytbuurt. Built in 1901, the home spans a generous 225 square metres according to the BAG registration, while the agent lists it at 224 square metres. With an asking price of €2,995,000, that works out to €13,371 per square metre based on the agent's figures. Compared with the average asking price of €2,819,459 for apartments in Amsterdam, this home sits on the high side, though the median price in the neighbourhood is €2,150,000.
Inside the home
The apartment has eight rooms, including five bedrooms, spread over multiple floors. The energy label is A, which is an efficient label, so heating costs should be relatively modest. The home was built in 1901, a fact that speaks to its classic Amsterdam architecture. The agent does not mention a garden, balcony, or garage, so outdoor space is likely limited to the surrounding streets and nearby Vondelpark.

About Van Breestraat 142H, Amsterdam
What is the asking price per square metre for this apartment?
The asking price is €2,995,000. Based on the agent's listed living area of 224 square metres, that comes to €13,371 per square metre. The average asking price per square metre in the Cornelis Schuytbuurt is €15,068, so this home is priced below the neighbourhood average per square metre, though the total price is above the average asking price of €2,819,459.
How many rooms and bedrooms does this apartment have?
According to the agent, this apartment has eight rooms in total, including five bedrooms. That makes it a spacious home, suitable for a large family or for those who need plenty of space for working from home or hobbies. The exact layout is not described in the listing, so you would need to view the property to see how the rooms are arranged.
What is the energy label and what does it mean for heating costs?
The energy label is A, which is an efficient label. This means the home is likely to have relatively low energy costs compared to homes with lower labels. However, the exact heating costs depend on your usage and energy prices. The agent does not mention specific insulation features, so the label is based on the official registration.
What is the WOZ value of this property?
The WOZ value is not stated in the available data for this listing. The WOZ value is the municipal valuation used for property taxes, and it is not always included in listings. Without this figure, it is not possible to compare the asking price to the official valuation or to comment on the historical development of the value.
What are the noise levels like around this address?
According to area-level data, the noise levels from road traffic are 47 dB Lden, from rail traffic 32 dB Lden, and from air traffic 47 dB Lden. All of these are below the relevant noise standards, so the home is not expected to experience excessive noise from these sources. These are area-level indications, not measurements taken at the property itself.
What is the foundation risk for this home?
The foundation risk indication for this address is medium, based on area-level data. This is because the building was constructed before 1970, and in this postcode area, 100% of properties were built before that year. This is an indication at the area level, not an inspection of this specific home, so it does not confirm any actual foundation issues.
What are the climate risks for this property?
Area-level climate data indicates that pluvial flooding (from heavy rain) is a medium risk, while flood risk from rivers or the sea is low both now and in 2050. Heat stress is currently medium, but is expected to become elevated by 2050. These are area-level indications and do not reflect the specific condition of this home.
Which supermarkets are nearby?
There are several Albert Heijn supermarkets within easy reach. The nearest is just 225 metres away, which is around the corner. Another is at 575 metres, and there are more within a ten-minute walk. This makes daily grocery shopping very convenient, with multiple options to choose from.
What schools are close to this apartment?
For primary education, the Nicolaas Maes school is about 401 metres away, and the Hildebrand Van Loonschool is at 428 metres. Both are within a five-minute walk.

What is the neighbourhood like in terms of safety?
The neighbourhood has a total of 248 reported crimes, according to CBS data. This figure includes all types of crime, and it is up to you to interpret what it means for safety. Residents across the municipality give their area an average score of 7.35 out of 10, which suggests general satisfaction, but this is not specific to this neighbourhood.
Why are there no property details in this listing?
This listing does not state the WOZ value, and it also does not mention any garden, balcony, or garage. The agent provides the number of rooms and bedrooms, but not a detailed layout. As a result, some aspects of the property are not known from the listing alone, and you would need to contact the agent for more information.

Experiences from Museumkwartier
How residents experience their district
De Harmoniehof is a neat and safe neighbourhood with well-maintained homes, adequate amenities, and good accessibility. Schools and shops are nearby, and the area is clean and quiet. The sense of community could be better: residents live somewhat past each other, and there is little contact or joint activities. More neighbourhood initiatives would strengthen cohesion.

Experiences from Amsterdam
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 AIIJburg is a new district still under development and it's getting better with all the amenities and a beach nearby. And you're also quickly out of the city and into the greenery.
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.
