Westlandgrachtbuurt, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodA classic Amsterdam apartment with a story
This 1934 apartment on the Woestduinstraat sits in the Westlandgrachtbuurt, a quiet residential pocket of Amsterdam that feels a world away from the city's hustle. The asking price of €795,000 is on the high side compared to the neighbourhood average, but the home itself is anything but ordinary. With five rooms spread over two floors, it offers space that's rare in this part of town. For context, the average asking price for apartments in Amsterdam sits well above this, making it a relatively accessible entry point into the city's property market.
Inside the home
The apartment spans two floors and includes five rooms, four bedrooms, and two bathrooms. A balcony adds outdoor space, and the home is set on a quiet road within a residential area. The property comes with full ownership, and the HOA fee is €84.50 per month. According to the agent, the living area is 118 m², while the BAG registration lists 129 m². The home has partial double glazing and a central heating boiler. The energy label is C, which means you can expect moderate energy costs.

Frequently asked questions
About Woestduinstraat 25-2, Amsterdam
How does the asking price compare to the WOZ value?
The asking price of €795,000 is 8% below the WOZ value of €861,000, which was set on 1 January 2025. 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 price per square metre, based on the agent's listed area of 118 m², is €6,737.
What is the layout of this apartment?
According to the agent, the apartment has five rooms, including four bedrooms and two bathrooms, spread over two floors. The total volume is 390 m³. There is a balcony, and the home is located on the second living floor. The property is in full ownership, and the HOA fee is €84.50 per month. The agent lists the living area as 118 m², while the BAG registration states 129 m².
What is the energy label and what does it mean for costs?
The energy label is C. This is a mid-range label, so you can expect moderate energy costs. The home has partial double glazing and a central heating boiler, according to the agent. The exact energy costs depend on your usage and energy prices, but label C is not the most efficient, so heating and electricity bills will likely be noticeable but not extreme.
What is the foundation risk for this property?
The foundation risk indication for this address is medium, based on area-level data. This is because the building was constructed before 1970, in 1934. The KCAF indicates that 100% of the properties in this postcode area were built before 1970. This is an area-level indication, not an inspection of this specific home, so it does not confirm any actual foundation issues.
How noisy is the area around this apartment?
According to area-level data, the noise from road traffic is 49 dB Lden, which is above the Dutch noise norm. Aircraft noise is also 49 dB Lden, also above the norm. Railway noise is 36 dB Lden, which is below the norm. These are indications for the address, not measurements inside the home. One resident of the municipality mentioned low-frequency noise from shipping, but that is not part of the official risk data.
What supermarkets are nearby?
The nearest supermarket is Dirk, just around the corner at about 344 metres. There are also several Albert Heijn stores within a short walk: one at 520 metres, another at 562 metres, and a third at 583 metres. A fourth Albert Heijn is at 644 metres.

Experiences from Westlandgrachtbuurt
How residents experience their neighbourhood
I've been living in this neighbourhood for almost a year now. I find it very pleasant, quiet & familiar. Many elderly people, families with kids, and starters live here, which makes you feel at home right away and there's some nice bustle on the street. Accessibility is fine; bus/tram station within walking distance & there's a metro station nearby. You're close to two parks: Vondelpark & Rembrandtpark, which is nice for the green surroundings. There are plenty of schools in the area for kids. Supermarkets, shops, restaurants within walking distance. It would be nice if some bakeries or more shops came to the neighbourhood, so it becomes even cosier and easier to stay in your own neighbourhood. Sports facilities are also nearby, which is very pleasant; I make good use of them. I have never felt unsafe for a moment; I feel that there are no people wandering around the neighbourhood who have no business being here.

Experiences from Amsterdam
How residents experience their municipality
IJburg 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 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.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's a nice quiet neighbourhood on the edge of the city but still close to many good amenities that a city has to offer. The neighbourhood is still becoming more beautiful.
