Herensingelkwartier, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodThis end-of-terrace house on Achterherengracht sits in a peaceful corner of Weesp, with the water just outside your door. At 88 m² over three floors, it feels compact but well laid out, with a 70 m² plot that gives you a private garden. The price of €649,500 is on the high side compared to the neighbourhood average of €600,000, but that reflects the scarcity of this type of home, end-of-terrace houses in Amsterdam are always in short supply.
The Herensingelkwartier is a quiet, close-knit area on the edge of Weesp's centre. One resident describes it as a "nice quiet neighbourhood on the edge of the centre, where everyone keeps an eye on each other! close to all possible amenities and station." Based on that single review, it scores an 8.75 out of 10. The area is mostly pre-war housing, with a mix of families and singles, average household size is 1.8, and about a third of households have children. Incomes are around the national average. For more context, see the Herensingelkwartier neighbourhood.
Your daily routine here is easy: Albert Heijn is just around the corner for groceries, and Vomar is a couple of streets away. For school runs, the Van Der Muelen-Vastwijkschool (primary) is a five-minute walk, and Casparus College (secondary) is also within walking distance. The train station is a ten-minute walk, so commuting to Amsterdam is straightforward. The area falls under the municipality of Amsterdam, which means city services and permits are handled by the capital.
At present, the home is listed through two channels: Koster Di Giacomo and Funda. The agent has published full details, including the energy label D, which is less efficient than most of the current supply in the neighbourhood, something to factor in when budgeting for bills.

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 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.
