Gelderlandpleinbuurt, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on Van Leijenberghlaan sits in a quiet, green pocket of Buitenveldert, with the buzz of the city never far away. At 103 m², it is noticeably more spacious than the neighbourhood average, and the 2004 build means a modern layout and energy label B. The asking price of €650,000 is on the high side compared to the median of €525,000 in the area, but the extra square metres and recent construction help explain it. For context, you can compare with other apartments in Amsterdam.
Only one resident has reviewed the neighbourhood so far, giving it a 7.75 out of 10. They describe it as "a warm, family-friendly environment with good amenities and excellent accessibility." The area is densely built (address density 4,426) and very urban, yet it has a calm, residential feel. Most homes date from 1945-1970, and the population is a mix of singles (1,785 one-person households) and families with children (510 households). Incomes are average for Amsterdam, and the streets are safe. This is the Gelderlandpleinbuurt neighbourhood in a nutshell.
Your morning coffee is just around the corner at the AH XL, and the Ekoplaza is a couple of streets away. For school runs, the Merkelbachschool is on your doorstep, and Kindercampus Zuidas is a five-minute walk. The Gelderlandplein shopping centre is nearby, and the train station is a ten-minute walk.

The asking price of €650,000 is above the neighbourhood median of €525,000 and the average of €587,522. However, this apartment is 103 m², which is 26% larger than the typical 82 m² in the area. The 2004 build and energy label B also add value. Whether it is fair depends on how much you value the extra space and modern construction.
The energy label is B, which is an official registration from EP-Online. Label B indicates a reasonably efficient home, meaning energy costs should be moderate compared to older or less efficient properties. The label does not specify which measures are in place, but it is a good starting point for estimating running costs.

How residents experience their municipality
IJburg 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 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 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.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's a nice quiet neighbourhood on the edge of the city but still close to many good amenities that a city has to offer. The neighbourhood is still becoming more beautiful.
