Geuzenhofbuurt, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on the Willem de Zwijgerlaan sits in a classic Amsterdam pre-war building, built in 1935. At 53 m² it's a compact two-room flat, typical of the area. The asking price of €515,000 is on the high side compared to the neighbourhood average of €463,000, but in line with the median of €495,000. For context, flats in Amsterdam generally command a premium.
The Geuzenhofbuurt neighbourhood is a dense, urban pocket of Amsterdam with a very high address density (11,723 per km²). It's a young area: most residents are between 25 and 45, and many live alone (740 single-person households). The streets are lined with pre-war architecture, and the vibe is lively but not chaotic. There are no resident reviews available for this neighbourhood, so the picture comes from CBS data: it's a place where most homes are flats, and the housing stock is entirely pre-war.
For daily groceries, an Aldi is just around the corner, and an Albert Heijn is a couple of streets away. There are several primary schools within a five-minute walk, including Daltonschool De Waterkant and De Visserschool. A park or public garden is on your doorstep, and a restaurant is just around the corner. The area is well served by public transport, though the nearest train station is a ten-minute cycle away. The municipality of Amsterdam offers all the amenities you'd expect from a major city.
At the time of writing the home is listed via CSV Makelaars B.V. and also appears on Funda, so it's available through several channels.

About Willem de Zwijgerlaan 60-1, Amsterdam
The asking price of €515,000 is slightly above the neighbourhood average of €463,000 and the median of €495,000. Given the 53 m² floor area, the price per m² works out at about €9,717, which is a bit higher than the neighbourhood average of €9,314. It's on the high side, but not outlandish for a well-located pre-war flat in Amsterdam.
The energy label is D. In this neighbourhood, all available homes for sale have label C, so this flat is slightly less efficient. Label D means you can expect moderate heating costs, but it's not the worst, it's a typical rating for a pre-war building without major retrofitting.
The listing does not specify the number of rooms, but with 53 m² it is likely a two-room apartment (a living room and a separate bedroom, plus a kitchen and bathroom). You would need to check the floor plan with the agent for the exact layout.
