Yes, it's in line with the market. The median rent in the Trompbuurt is also €2,750, and the average per m² is €43.29. At 49 m², the price per m² works out to about €56, which is higher than the neighbourhood average, but the A+ energy label and central location justify the premium.
The Trompbuurt is a very urban area with a young population, nearly half of residents are between 25 and 45. It's a mix of students, expats and families. Residents appreciate the restaurants and shops but note a lack of community feel. There's a playground and an ice cream shop, though some wish for more facilities for older children.
Albert Heijn is 211 m away, just around the corner. Aldi is 285 m away, also within a short walk. Several other supermarkets are within 1 km, so daily shopping is very convenient.
Primary schools De Visserschool (140 m) and Admiraal De Ruyterschool (197 m) are on your doorstep. Secondary school Marcanti College is 269 m away. Several other primary schools are within walking distance, making it a practical area for families with school-age children.
The nearest train station is 3.5 km away. That's about a 10-minute bike ride or a short bus trip.
The energy label is A+, which is very efficient. This means heating and electricity costs are likely to be low compared to older homes. The building was built in 1934 but has been upgraded to a high standard.

How residents experience their neighbourhood
It's nice there and friendly people. But a sense of togetherness is lacking and I don't have much contact with my neighbours either, which I regret. My primary school days in this neighbourhood were really perfect and the restaurants and shops are also very good. But there are many students and expats, which makes me feel a certain divide and not much community. I myself would like to move out, but that's certainly not possible in my neighbourhood because they are far too expensive.
Auto-translated to English by AINice and cosy, there is an ice cream shop and a playground called de ruige speeltijn but now it's for babies because everything is getting super small, which is a shame, but the rest is great. We get along well and some of my friends live very close by, which is also nice. But I do think there should be more playgrounds for older children, because babies are fine at home too, but older kids just end up on their phones or laptops, so more playgrounds for older children, that's the only thing.

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 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.
