Living in Gein 1, Amsterdam

Gein 1 is located in the southeast of Amsterdam, in the Zuidoost district, and has a very distinct character that is not easily compared to other Amsterdam neighbourhoods. The neighbourhood consists largely of apartment blocks and porch flats built in the 1970s as part of the large Bijlmermeer expansion. This gives the neighbourhood a recognisable structure: wide green strips, parking at ground level, and an open, spacious layout that you won't find anywhere in Amsterdam's city centre. It is not a neighbourhood that immediately impresses the average house hunter, but those who live there appreciate the space and greenery. The resident score of 6.2 out of 10 is honest: it is not a perfect neighbourhood, but certainly not a problem area either. Residents rate safety notably high: a 9.0. Green spaces also score well with an 8.0. But for amenities (4.0) and beauty (5.0), the ratings are less flattering. One resident describes the neighbourhood as: "Quiet and lots of green, but for groceries or a terrace you really have to leave the neighbourhood." That sums it up well. For daily groceries, you rely on the Gein shopping centre, which is within walking distance and houses a supermarket, pharmacy and a number of smaller shops. For a wider range, the Amsterdamse Poort shopping centre in the nearby Bijlmer is easily accessible by bike. Schools are present in the neighbourhood, although scores for education (6.0) and community (5.0) are mediocre, which may be linked to the relatively high turnover rate in a neighbourhood with much social housing. The neighbourhood does have a strong asset: accessibility by metro. Gein metro station on line 53 (the Gaasperplas line) is within walking distance and takes you to Amsterdam Central in about twenty minutes. For motorists, the A9 is quickly accessible, which also makes the neighbourhood interesting for people who regularly work outside the city. Compared to Gein 2 and Gein 3, Gein 1 is similar in character, although the types of homes vary slightly per sub-neighbourhood.

Who is a home in Gein 1 suitable for?

Gein 1 mainly attracts first-time buyers and buyers with a limited budget. With an entry price from €260,000 and an average of €332,040, buying a home in Gein 1 is one of the cheaper options within Amsterdam. The neighbourhood is less suitable for people seeking urban vibrancy or who have high demands for amenities right on their doorstep. However, families who value space and greenery over a central location can find an affordable home here that is out of reach elsewhere in Amsterdam. Keep in mind that supply is limited: on average, only 25 homes are sold per year. Overbidding is not uncommon here either. If you want to stay flexible, you can also look at rental homes in Gein 1, where supply is considerably larger.
