Meer en Oever, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodThis two-bedroom apartment on Vrijzicht sits in the leafy Meer en Oever neighbourhood, a calm corner of Amsterdam Nieuw-West that feels a world away from the city centre. At €445,000, the asking price is 23% below the neighbourhood average of €576,444, making it a keen entry into the Amsterdam market, especially given the 80 m² floor area, which is 31% smaller than the local average. For context, the supply of apartments in Amsterdam is limited, with only nine homes currently for sale in the area.
Residents give the neighbourhood Meer en Oever an average score of 8.66 out of 10, based on four reviews. One resident describes it as "very beautiful and easily accessible, many shops, public transport, nice green surroundings, plenty of living space, tidy neighbourhood." Another adds: "The neighbourhood is nicely laid out with lots of greenery, open waterways, very good amenities, perfect public transport, plenty of parking space. It doesn't get any better in Amsterdam and thankfully still tourist-free." The area is densely urban (3,146 addresses per km²) and home to a mix of households, with many singles and a fair share of families.
For your morning bread, Jumbo and AH XL are both just around the corner, with Dirk and Aldi a couple of streets away. Primary school IKC Het Talent is a five-minute walk, and the Calandlyceum secondary school is a ten-minute walk. The municipality Amsterdam offers extensive amenities, with a park or public garden on your doorstep and a GP practice just a couple of streets away. The nearest train station is 4.2 km away, so you'll rely on tram or bus for longer journeys.
At the time of writing, the home is listed through several channels, including Dutch Real Estate Company, Vastgoed Nederland, Huispedia, and Funda. The energy label is E, which means higher heating costs to expect, something to factor into your budget.

My neighbourhood is very beautiful and easily accessible, many shops, public transport, nice green surroundings, plenty of living space, tidy neighbourhood
Auto-translated to English by AIThe neighbourhood is nicely laid out with lots of greenery, open waterways, very good amenities, perfect public transport, plenty of parking space. It doesn't get any better in Amsterdam and thankfully still tourist-free. The centre and Vondelpark are nearby but often I don't feel like leaving the neighbourhood at all. People in the neighbourhood are friendly, quiet and a bit to themselves but I like that. Never experienced any aggression or crime!! I hope my neighbourhood doesn't become hip and stays like this!
Auto-translated to English by AII was born here in 1963 and have seen many changes. I feel perfectly at ease in Amsterdam Nieuw West; it keeps looking better and better.
