Van der Pekbuurt, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodThis end-of-terrace house on Tweede Disteldwarsstraat sits in the Van der Pekbuurt, a pocket of Amsterdam that feels like a village among the towers. This listing does not state an energy label. As a result, the rest of this page is mainly about the street and the neighbourhood, not the home itself. At €445,000, the price is above the neighbourhood average of €413,429, but the plot is unusually large at 1,046 m², a rare find. For context, end-of-terrace houses in Amsterdam vary widely in price.
This neighbourhood is a mix of old and new, with renovation still underway. One resident describes it as 'a little village among the apartment blocks' and praises its accessibility by car and public transport. They also note that rubbish on the street and rats near bins are an issue. Based on one review, the neighbourhood scores a 7.14 out of 10. The area has a high address density (3,556 addresses per km²) and a young population, with many single-person households. The Van der Pekbuurt neighbourhood is clearly in transition.
For daily groceries, Vomar is just around the corner, and Albert Heijn is a five-minute walk. Primary schools are close: Dalton Kind Centrum De IJsbreker is a couple of streets away, and Oecumenische basisschool Oranje Nassau is a five-minute walk. The neighbourhood has a GP practice on your doorstep and a park within a few minutes' walk. The municipality of Amsterdam offers extensive amenities, but the train station is 4.8 km away.

The asking price of €445,000 is above the neighbourhood average of €413,429 and the median of €400,000. However, the plot is exceptionally large at 1,046 m², which is rare for an end-of-terrace house. The price per square metre (€8,900) is in line with the neighbourhood average of €8,803.

How residents experience their neighbourhood
There is a mix of poor and rich, the neighbourhood is still being renovated and the area is fully under development, but already beautiful, a little village among the apartment blocks. Easily accessible by both car and public transport, I say: a top location. As for hygiene; a lot of rubbish on the street and near the bins, I regularly see rats running around.

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 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.
