Geuzenhofbuurt, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on Willem de Zwijgerlaan sits in a lively part of Amsterdam West, where the streets are lined with pre-war architecture and the atmosphere is distinctly urban. At 45 m² it is compact, but the layout makes efficient use of space. The asking price of €495,000 is exactly in line with the median for apartments in Amsterdam, so it is priced keenly for the current market.
The Geuzenhofbuurt neighbourhood is a dense, inner-city area with a very strong urban feel, the address density is among the highest in the country. Most homes are pre-war apartments, and the population is young: a large share of residents are between 25 and 45. There are few families with children, and many single-person households. The neighbourhood has a lively, mixed character with plenty of cafes and restaurants just around the corner.
For daily groceries, an Aldi is just around the corner, and an Albert Heijn is a five-minute walk away. There are several primary schools within a couple of streets away, including De Visserschool and Admiraal De Ruyterschool, both within a few minutes' walk. A secondary school, Marcanti College, is also close by. The area has a good number of restaurants and a park or public garden within a five-minute walk, so everyday life is well catered for within the municipality of Amsterdam.
At the time of writing the home is listed only via Bos Makelaars.

About Willem de Zwijgerlaan 76-1, Amsterdam
The asking price of €495,000 matches the median price for apartments in the Geuzenhofbuurt, which is also €495,000. The average price per square metre in the neighbourhood is €9,314, and this home works out at €11,000 per m², above the average, but the median price suggests the market is supporting this level. Given that only five apartments are currently for sale, supply is limited.
The energy label is D. In the Geuzenhofbuurt, all current for-sale apartments have label C, so this home is slightly less efficient than the local average. A D label means heating costs will be moderate but not minimal; you can expect higher energy bills than a modern home with a better label.
The nearest train station is 3.8 km away, so it is not within walking distance. You would need a bus, tram or bicycle to reach it. The area is well served by trams and buses, however, so public transport connections are good.
The Geuzenhofbuurt is very popular with young professionals. Over half the residents are between 25 and 45, and most households are single people. The area has a high address density, meaning plenty of cafes, restaurants and shops are nearby. It is a lively, urban environment rather than a quiet residential one.
There are only five apartments for sale in the Geuzenhofbuurt at the moment. That is a very small number, so choice is limited. The average time to sell in the past was 31 days, which suggests homes do not stay on the market long.
Several primary schools are within walking distance: De Visserschool (244 m), Admiraal De Ruyterschool (279 m) and Daltonschool De Waterkant (289 m). For secondary education, Marcanti College is just 293 m away. All are within a few minutes' walk.
Yes, an Aldi is just 229 m away, and an Albert Heijn is 323 m from the apartment. Both are within a five-minute walk, so daily shopping is very convenient.
