The Trompbuurt neighbourhood
Based on two reviews, residents describe the Trompbuurt as pleasant but with a limited sense of community. One resident says: "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." Another calls it a "cosy neighbourhood" with an ice cream shop and a playground, though they note that facilities for older children are lacking. The area has a high proportion of young adults (25-45 years) and many single-person households, which fits the urban, transient feel. Learn more about the Trompbuurt neighbourhood.

Frequently asked questions
About Willem de Zwijgerlaan 121-3, Amsterdam
Is €495,000 a fair price for this apartment?
The asking price of €495,000 is 31% below the average asking price in the Trompbuurt (€722,174). However, the apartment is also smaller than average (58 m² vs 81 m²). The price per square metre works out to about €8,534, which is slightly below the neighbourhood average of €9,179 per m². So it's priced keenly for its size, but the lower energy label (F) means higher running costs to factor in.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The energy label is F, which is the second-lowest rating on the scale. This means the home is not very energy-efficient, so you can expect higher heating and electricity bills compared to a home with a better label. In the Trompbuurt, most homes for sale have a better label (only 21.7% are D or lower), so this one stands out as less efficient.
How is the neighbourhood for daily life?
The Trompbuurt is very urban with a high density of amenities. A large supermarket (Albert Heijn) is just around the corner, and there are several primary schools within a few minutes' walk. The area has many restaurants and shops nearby. Public transport is good, though the nearest train station is 3.5 km away. The neighbourhood scores a 7.69 out of 10 from residents, who appreciate the cosy feel but note a lack of community spirit.
What is the property like inside?
The apartment has a floor area of 58 m² and was built in 1934. The energy label F suggests the heating system and insulation may be dated, but the listing does not provide details on the interior condition.
How does this apartment compare to others in the area?
This apartment is smaller than the neighbourhood average (58 m² vs 81 m²) and priced lower in absolute terms. The price per m² is slightly below average. The building dates from before 1945, like all homes in the Trompbuurt. The energy label F is worse than most: only 21.7% of homes have a label D or lower, while the majority have label C or better.
What are the nearby schools?
There are several primary schools within walking distance: De Visserschool (123 m), Admiraal De Ruyterschool (195 m), and Daltonschool De Waterkant (411 m). For secondary education, Marcanti College is 249 m away. All are within a few minutes' walk, making the area convenient for families with school-age children.
