Oosterparkbuurt-Zuidoost, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodThis two-bedroom apartment on Vrolikstraat sits in a lively pocket of Amsterdam Oost. At 50 m² it's compact, but the layout makes good use of the space. The asking price of €425,000 is keen compared to the neighbourhood average of €787,700, partly because the home is smaller than the typical 79 m² in the area. For context, apartments in Amsterdam vary widely in price and size.
The neighbourhood is a mix of green streets and urban energy. One resident describes it as "The Happiest in Oost": "I've been living on Vrolikstraat in Oost for over six months now and I feel so happy here. Ten minutes by bike from my work, a green quiet street, and yet right in the middle of the most beautiful city in the country (in the world)!" Another review is less glowing, calling it "Sketchy" and noting "Lots of crime in the neighbourhood." Based on two reviews, the average score is 8 out of 10. The area is densely populated, with many young professionals and students. For more on the area, see the neighbourhood Oosterparkbuurt-Zuidoost.
Daily errands are easy: Dirk and Albert Heijn are both just around the corner, and a Lidl is a five-minute walk. For families, IKC Frankendael (primary school) is a couple of streets away, and Montessori Lyceum Oostpoort (secondary) is within a ten-minute walk. The Oosterpark is on your doorstep, perfect for a morning jog or an evening stroll. The municipality Amsterdam offers a wealth of cultural and recreational options.
