Legmeerpleinbuurt, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodThis is a home with presence. On Weissenbruchstraat in Amsterdam's Legmeerpleinbuurt, you get 354 m² of living space spread over several floors, built in 1932 and with a B energy label. At €2,750,000 it is the most expensive of the 17 homes currently for sale in the neighbourhood and sits 269% above the average asking price of €745,647, so it is very much on the high side. For context, end-of-terrace houses in Amsterdam are rare at this scale.
The Legmeerpleinbuurt is a calm residential pocket within Amsterdam's Hoofddorppleinbuurt district. With 1,675 residents and a high proportion of single-person households (495), it feels grown-up and settled. The neighbourhood is very urban (address density 7,707 per km²), yet there is a park or public garden just a five-minute walk away. No resident reviews are available for this area, so the picture comes from the data: mostly pre-war housing (88.9% built before 1945), a mix of owner-occupied and rental, and a strong sense of established Amsterdam living. The Legmeerpleinbuurt neighbourhood is well worth exploring.
Your morning bread run is a couple of streets away: Dirk is just around the corner, and two Albert Heijns are within a five-minute walk. For primary schools, Cultuurprofielschool De Notenkraker and Oecumenische basisschool Nautilus are both a five-minute walk away. Secondary education is also close, with Montessori Lyceum Oostpoort and Tobiasschool VMBO within a ten-minute walk. The train station is 1.8 km away, so a pleasant stroll or short cycle. The municipality of Amsterdam offers everything else you could need.

At €2,750,000, this is the most expensive home currently for sale in the Legmeerpleinbuurt and 269% above the neighbourhood average asking price of €745,647. However, with 354 m² of living space, 327% larger than the average 83 m², the price per square metre is in line with the premium for a truly exceptional property. Whether it is fair depends on how much you value space and a pre-war character in a central Amsterdam location.
The energy label is B, which is an official registration in the EP-Online system. Label B is quite efficient, meaning the home is likely to have reasonable energy costs compared to older properties. The neighbourhood has a mix of labels: 14.3% are B, while the majority (57.1%) are C. The label does not specify which measures have been taken, but it is a good starting point.
The plot measures 138 m². The listing does not mention a garden, terrace, or balcony, so it is unclear what outdoor space is included. The plot size alone does not guarantee a garden. You would need to check the property details or visit to see what is there.
The Legmeerpleinbuurt has 195 households with children out of a total of 475 households, so about 41% are families. There are several primary schools within a five-minute walk, including De Notenkraker and Nautilus. The area is quiet and green, with a park nearby. It is a very urban setting (address density 7,707 per km²), but the streets feel residential and safe.
The nearest supermarket is Dirk at 146 m, just around the corner. Two Albert Heijn stores are within 300 m, and a Jumbo is 543 m away. Daily groceries are very convenient, with multiple options within a five-minute walk.
The nearest train station is 1.8 km away, which is about a 20-minute walk or a short cycle. Given the central Amsterdam location, most amenities are within walking or cycling distance.
In the past period, 74 homes were sold in the neighbourhood at an average price of €655,324 and an average time on market of 28 days. The asking price of €2,750,000 is far above that average, but this home is also much larger than typical. The sold prices reflect the general market, not necessarily comparable properties.

How residents experience their district
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.

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.
