Middelveldsche Akerpolder, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodThis detached house on Noorderakerweg sits in the leafy Middelveldsche Akerpolder, a part of Amsterdam that feels a world away from the city centre. With 157 m² of living space and a 533 m² plot, it's a rare find in this corner of the capital. The asking price of €1,199,000 is on the high side, it's the most expensive of the ten homes currently for sale in the neighbourhood and 122% above the average asking price of €538,900. For context, that average is pulled down by smaller homes; this one is 73% larger than the typical 91 m². If you're looking for detached houses in Amsterdam, this is a standout.
The neighbourhood Middelveldsche Akerpolder is a neighbourhood with strong contrasts. Based on three reviews, residents give it a 6.13 out of 10. One resident calls it a "mixed bag", noting it "used to be a nice neighbourhood but it's going downhill due to people's behaviour, hygiene and antisocial behaviour." Another says: "I am often harassed by young people. There is a lot of rubbish and plastic on the streets." A third resident, however, finds it a "nice neighbourhood to live in" but criticises the municipality for failing to maintain it, saying bulky waste is often left out and the area looks run-down. The neighbourhood is densely populated (3,271 addresses per km²) and very urban, with a mix of families and singles. Most homes are owner-occupied (23%) and built between 1970 and 1990.
For your daily shopping, Vomar is just around the corner, and Jumbo is a five-minute walk away. Lidl is a couple of streets further. There are several primary schools within walking distance: Openbare Basisschool De Punt is on your doorstep, and basisschool Atlantis is a five-minute walk. For secondary education, the nearest school is about 1.8 km away. A park or public garden is just around the corner, perfect for a quick escape. The municipality Amsterdam offers all the city's amenities, though the train station is 5.5 km away, you'd rely on bus or car for longer journeys.

Used to be a nice neighbourhood but it's going downhill due to people's behaviour, hygiene and antisocial behaviour. People just throw their rubbish and other junk in places where it doesn't belong.

About Noorderakerweg 14, Amsterdam
The asking price is 122% above the neighbourhood average of €538,900, but this is a detached house with 157 m² of living space and a 533 m² plot, while the average home in the area is 91 m². It's the most expensive of the ten homes currently for sale in Middelveldsche Akerpolder. Whether it's fair depends on how much you value the extra space and the detached character.
The home has energy label C. That means it's reasonably efficient but not top-of-the-line. You can expect moderate energy costs, but it's worth checking the specific insulation and heating systems. In the neighbourhood, 63.6% of homes have label B, so this one is slightly less efficient than average.
Middelveldsche Akerpolder has a mix of households: about 675 with children and 390 without. There are several primary schools within walking distance, and a park is just around the corner. However, some residents report issues with antisocial behaviour and litter, so it's worth visiting at different times to get a feel for the area.
Vomar is just around the corner (231 m), Jumbo is a five-minute walk (579 m), and Lidl is a couple of streets away (816 m). Albert Heijn and Aldi are a bit further, about 1.2 and 1.4 km respectively. For daily groceries, you're well covered.
The nearest train station is 5.5 km away. That's a bit of a distance, so you'd likely need a bus, bike or car to get there. The neighbourhood is well connected by road, but public transport to the station may take some planning.
The plot is 533 m², which is generous for Amsterdam. The listing doesn't specify a garden, but with that size, there's plenty of outdoor space.
