About Willemskerkestraat 21A, Amsterdam
The asking price of €495,000 is 10% below the WOZ value of €550,000, which was set on 2025-01-01. This means the asking price is lower than the municipal valuation. However, the WOZ value is not the same as the market value, so this comparison is just one indicator. The neighbourhood average asking price is around €523,000, so this home is priced slightly below that.

Much living pleasure
Auto-translated to English by AIGood neighbourhood
Auto-translated to English by AIHardly any Dutch shops... mostly Muslim. On Tussenmeer 85 there is a squatter's pro-Palestine building... while everything is being done in the neighbourhood to make it nice. The building is full of Palestine flags and hate texts. We want more Dutch shops... For the rest... nice area for walking and cycling. The city is accessible from all sides and everything is well reachable. All shops are present.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's quite quiet but sometimes things do happen
Auto-translated to English by AIAdequate/average (not bad, but not fantastic either. Just normal), it's not the best, but no neighbourhood is; things can always change/improve. Plenty of educational opportunities, supermarkets like Albert Heijn and Jumbo, a bit further (15 minutes walk) there's also the centre with all sorts of other amenities such as shops, supermarkets, ice cream shops, restaurants, etc. Many playgrounds, so really family-friendly. However, I must admit that there is little parking space, possibly due to these amenities. Hygiene could also be better; there is often some rubbish on the ground that doesn't belong there, like cans etc. Housing: there are many homes and houses in the neighbourhood, also with private and shared garages, so really great.
Auto-translated to English by AIThere are so often bombs and explosions. And a lot of rubbish thrown on the ground. Constant arguments. Many young people with fitbikes. Almost got run over.
Auto-translated to English by AIVaried. I can't describe it with one word because in some areas it differs greatly from another. One aspect is simply a bit less good, for example there is very little parking space. Other areas are really great, everything is nearby, much is within walking distance, think schools, supermarkets, city centre, restaurants etc. That there is little greenery is not surprising when you live in a neighbourhood. Hygiene could also be better in my opinion, there are many things always on the street while there is a bin just 1 metre away.

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 AIIJburg is a new district still under development and it's getting better with all the amenities and a beach nearby. And you're also quickly out of the city and into the greenery.
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 AINo public transport!
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.
