Jacob Geelbuurt, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodThis corner house on Joseph Scaligerstraat sits in a neighbourhood that feels restless, according to residents. With 70 m² of living space and a 73 m² plot, it's a compact home from 1956 with energy label D. At €485,000, the asking price is close to the average of €492,417 for homes in this area, so it's in line with the market. For context, end-of-terrace houses in Amsterdam vary widely in price.
The Jacob Geelbuurt is a densely populated area with over 3,000 residents, many of whom live alone. It's a very urban setting, with a high density of addresses. Based on two reviews, opinions are mixed. One resident says: "It's a 7.2 in total and yes what else actually? for the rest I'm just very rich as a student l." Another describes it as a "restless neighbourhood with many unstable families," citing nuisance and a lack of social cohesion. The neighbourhood Jacob Geelbuurt has a mix of housing, but only 7% are owner-occupied.
For daily errands, you have a Dirk supermarket just around the corner, and an Albert Heijn a couple of streets away. There are several primary schools within walking distance, like Huibersschool Dalton basisschool and Huizingaschool, both a few minutes' walk. Secondary schools such as Comenius Lyceum Amsterdam are also nearby. The municipality Amsterdam offers extensive amenities, but the neighbourhood itself feels urban and busy.
At the time of writing, the home is listed through several channels, including KRK Makelaars and Openbare Makelaardij.

I said it already
Auto-translated to English by AIPartly due to nuisance from next-door neighbours (which borders on harassing behaviour), I feel powerless against negative behaviour and intimidation from others. There are genuinely friendly people, but due to the decline of this neighbourhood, you see/sense that people live on islands. Little genuine involvement or social behaviour from others, little empathy or taking responsibility for one's own behaviour, aggression/aggressive behaviour, and that makes the living environment (also indoors) offer little to no safety. I write from daily experience and it is sickening. The housing shortage and rules offer no other escape options. Very sad.
