House prices and market figures for Gibraltarbuurt, Amsterdam
Gibraltarbuurt is predominantly a rental neighbourhood: only 22% of the housing stock consists of owner-occupied homes, compared to 78% rental. This makes the owner-occupied segment relatively scarce here. Of the rental homes, 46% are owned by housing corporations, which partly determines the character of the neighbourhood. The average WOZ value is €415,000, noticeably lower than the district average of Landlust (€453,000) and well below the Amsterdam average of €517,000. Yet actual transaction prices are higher: over the past twelve months, 73 homes were sold with an average purchase price of €459,274. The price range runs from €255,000 to €995,000, indicating that both entry-level homes and more expensive properties come onto the market. With an average living area of 52 m², this works out at a price of approximately €8,840 per square metre. These are mainly compact apartments in pre-war and early post-war buildings. For current asking prices and available supply, see the overview at the top of this page.
Living in Gibraltarbuurt, Amsterdam
Gibraltarbuurt is located in the western part of Amsterdam, as part of the Landlust district in the West borough. It is a densely built-up, urban neighbourhood with a distinct character: many porch flats and closed building blocks from the 1930s and 1940s, narrow streets, and a mix of residents who have known the neighbourhood for decades alongside newcomers taking their first step onto the property ladder. It is not a neighbourhood that immediately impresses with architecture or greenery, but once you live there, you appreciate the tranquillity at street level despite the urban surroundings.
In terms of amenities, the neighbourhood is reasonably self-sufficient on a daily basis. Jan van Galenstraat, near the neighbourhood boundary, offers a varied range of shops with supermarkets, bakeries and small specialist stores. For a larger shopping centre, Mercatorplein is within cycling distance. Children in the neighbourhood can attend several primary schools in the immediate vicinity, including schools in the adjacent Erasmusparkbuurt. Erasmuspark itself, within walking distance, is the main green lung for residents and offers space for recreation, play and a walk.
Accessibility is a serious point of concern. Residents give accessibility the lowest score of all categories: 1.5 out of 10. That is remarkably low. There is no direct metro connection, and the nearest tram stops (lines 7 and 13 towards the centre) are on the edges of the neighbourhood. By bike, you can reach the centre in about twenty minutes, which is the primary mode of travel for many residents. By car, the A10 is relatively quickly accessible via Jan van Galenstraat, but parking in the neighbourhood is not easy and requires a resident's permit.
The overall resident score stands at 4.3 out of 10, based on two reviews. That is low, and honesty demands that be stated. Safety scores best at 6.5, followed by greenery (6.0) and community (5.0). Beauty (3.0) and housing (3.5) score poorly. One resident describes the neighbourhood as: "Functional and affordable, but the streets are messy and public transport accessibility is really substandard." If you are looking for a cosy, well-maintained neighbourhood with plenty of vibrancy, you might also consider Erasmusparkbuurt-Oost or Landlust-Noord, which have a slightly different character within the same district. For all resident reviews and a complete picture of neighbourhood data, see the Gibraltarbuurt overview page.
The neighbourhood has around 4,200 residents, the largest group being between 25 and 45 years old. Single-person households are strongly represented (1,445 of households), and only 18% of residents are married. This characterises the neighbourhood as a place for young urbanites and singles, not so much for families with young children. Education level is relatively high: 53% are highly educated, and the average income is €35,500, below the Amsterdam average of €44,276.
Who is a home in Gibraltarbuurt interesting for?
Buying in Gibraltarbuurt mainly appeals to first-time buyers who want a foot in the door in Amsterdam-West without paying the prices of the Jordaan or the Grachtengordel. With an entry price from €255,000, there are options, though they are scarce and go quickly. Expect overbidding and a quick decision. Movers looking for more space will quickly hit limits with an average area of 52 m². Families with children are less at home here, unless Erasmuspark and the nearby schools compensate sufficiently. Also consider rental homes in Gibraltarbuurt as an alternative, given the large supply in that segment.
