Single-family homes are scarce. Check the overview at the top of this page for current asking prices and selling times.
Living in Nieuwe Pijp: market atmosphere, metro and little greenery
Nieuwe Pijp is the part of Amsterdam-Zuid between the Albert Cuypmarkt and Sarphatipark. It is a neighbourhood where you step over fresh mangoes at the market in the morning and have a choice of dozens of restaurants along Ceintuurbaan and Marie Heinekenplein in the evening. Residents on the Nieuwe Pijp district page rate the neighbourhood 7.5 out of 10. Accessibility scores highest at 8.8, and rightly so: De Pijp metro station (North-South line) is centrally located in the district and takes you to Amsterdam Central in ten minutes. Tram lines 3, 4 and 12 stop along the edges. Resident Z writes: "It is easily accessible by metro and tram, except at night. There is only 1 bus in the area and that is at 5 am, to Schiphol." That night-time public transport gap is a real drawback if you work late.
Amenities score 8.0, which matches the street scene. Within walking distance you will find several Albert Heijn and Jumbo branches, a Marqt on Ferdinand Bolstraat, and the daily Albert Cuypmarkt for vegetables, fish and fabrics. For primary education, there are, among others, Pijlerschool and Catharinaschool. Sarphatipark is the green heart of the neighbourhood, but residents find the total amount of greenery limited. The green score of 6.8 is the second lowest sub-score. Resident Sem sums it up succinctly: "Messy, mixed, little greenery. Sometimes nice, sometimes a lot of poverty, sometimes chaotic." That honesty characterises the district: it is not a slick neighbourhood, but one with character.
Within Nieuwe Pijp, the atmosphere varies per neighbourhood. The Van der Helstpleinbuurt is close to the market and hospitality venues, while the Cornelis Troostbuurt towards the Amstelkanaal is quieter. The Lizzy Ansinghbuurt borders Sarphatipark and attracts families, and the Willibrordusbuurt has a mix of social housing and owner-occupied apartments. Resident Middag sums up the energy: "Lively neighbourhood, 24/7 lively, little noise from neighbours." That sounds contradictory, but the thick walls of the pre-war buildings dampen street noise surprisingly well. More information about the municipality can be found on the page about Amsterdam and on amsterdam.nl.
Does Nieuwe Pijp suit you as a buyer?
With an average purchase price above six hundred thousand euros and apartments averaging 66 m², buying a home in Nieuwe Pijp is mainly realistic for dual-income earners or movers with equity. First-time buyers with a modal income of around €49,300 (the district average) often miss out, unless they bring substantial personal funds. In addition to the purchase price, budget for around 5 to 6% additional costs: transfer tax (2% or exemption for first-time buyers under the threshold), notary, valuation and mortgage advice. Overbidding is more the rule than the exception in this district. If you find the purchase prices too high, you can look at rental homes in Nieuwe Pijp. Families looking for more space sometimes find better options in districts such as Haarlemmerbuurt or Jordaan, although prices there are comparable.

Auto-translated to English by AIIt's really a good neighbourhood. It's easily accessible by metro and tram, except at night. There's only 1 bus in the area and that one at 5 in the morning (to Schiphol) is super annoying. Furthermore, it's nicely green with parks and trees in the neighbourhood. There are also many amenities; shops, bakeries, butchers, eateries, really everything. Also, it's very safe, there are occasional burglaries but they are minor and only target shops. Furthermore, no one has been murdered or large drug labs found in years. Just lock your bike properly. The houses are nice and good, but WAY TOO EXPENSIVE! Renting here is a nightmare if it's not social housing :/
