Minervabuurt-Zuid, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodThis is a home that makes an impression. A corner house from 1935, with 250 m² of living space and a 202 m² plot, in one of Amsterdam's most desirable neighbourhoods. The asking price of €2,750,000 is the highest of the 22 homes currently for sale in the Minervabuurt-Zuid, and 127% above the neighbourhood average of €1,211,364. That reflects the exceptional size and character of this property. For context, end-of-terrace houses in Amsterdam at this level are rare.
The Minervabuurt-Zuid is a quiet, leafy pocket of the Apollobuurt, with wide streets and pre-war architecture. One resident describes it as 'close to the centre but still relatively quiet', and notes that 'there are good schools and it is not too busy'. The neighbourhood has a strong family feel: 395 households have children, and the average household size is 2.0. Incomes are above average, and the area is very urban (5,247 addresses per km²), yet it feels calm. The neighbourhood Minervabuurt-Zuid is a place where people stay.
For your morning bread, Albert Heijn is just around the corner, and there's an AH to go a couple of streets away. The Eerste Openluchtschool voor het Gezonde Kind is a five-minute walk, and several secondary schools, Gerrit van der Veen College, HLZ, St. Nicolaaslyceum, are within a ten-minute walk. The municipality Amsterdam offers everything you'd expect from a capital, but here you're in a residential enclave with parks and sports facilities nearby.
At the time of writing, the home is listed through several channels, including Heeren Makelaars.

I experience my neighbourhood as suitable for families, there are good schools and it is not too busy. In the area there are many options for sports. Contact with the neighbours is sufficient, but not very close. Furthermore, there are several parks in the area and the surroundings are easily accessible, with a metro and train station within walking distance. It is a fifteen-minute bike ride to the centre.

Corner houses of this size and age are rare in Amsterdam, so the premium reflects its uniqueness.

The energy label is D. This is common for a home built in 1935, and it means heating costs will be higher than in a modern, well-insulated home. In the neighbourhood, 47.8% of homes have a label D or lower, so this is typical for the area.
With 250 m² of living space, this home is 107% larger than the neighbourhood average of 121 m². The plot of 202 m² is also generous for a corner house in this part of Amsterdam. Most homes in Minervabuurt-Zuid are smaller, so this is an unusually spacious property.
