Durgerdammerdijk 138A

A hidden gem on the Durgerdammerdijk

This detached house on the Durgerdammerdijk feels like a peaceful retreat, yet it's part of Amsterdam. Built in 2022, it offers 71 m² of living space on a generous 830 m² plot, with an A+ energy label. At €700,000, it's the cheapest of the nine homes currently for sale in the neighbourhood and 58% below the average asking price, a keen price for a new-build home. For context, detached houses in Amsterdam typically command much higher prices.

The Durgerdam neighbourhood

Durgerdam is a tiny village on the IJmeer, with just over 500 residents. It's a quiet, rural enclave within Amsterdam's city limits. One resident describes it as 'a hidden gem on the edge of Amsterdam', adding: 'The charming houses with their colourful facades, the rippling water of the IJmeer and the soothing silence make it a place never to forget.' The neighbourhood is mostly owner-occupied (88%) and consists almost entirely of single-family homes (89%). It's a place where nature and simplicity merge, as the resident notes. This is the Durgerdam neighbourhood at its best.

Life on the street

For daily groceries, you'll head to Albert Heijn or Vomar, both about a ten-minute walk away. The nearest primary school, De Weidevogel, is a couple of streets away, and there are several others within a short walk. Secondary schools are a bit further, with ALASCA and Cburg College about a ten-minute walk. The train station is 6.7 km away, so a car or bike is handy for commuting. The area falls under the municipality of Amsterdam, so you have city services while enjoying village life.
