House prices and market figures Schinkelbuurt-Noord, Amsterdam

Of the 1,487 homes in the neighbourhood, only 32% are owner-occupied, while 68% are rented, a large proportion of which through private landlords.

The average WOZ value is €561,000, which is higher than the district average of Schinkelbuurt (€548,000) and clearly above the Amsterdam average of €517,000. This reflects the popularity of this part of the neighbourhood. The average purchase price over the past twelve months was €624,655, with an average living area of 63 m².

Living in Schinkelbuurt-Noord, Amsterdam

Schinkelbuurt-Noord is nestled between the Vondelpark, the Overtoom and the Schinkel, which already says a lot about the character of the neighbourhood. It is an urban neighbourhood with a quiet undertone. No busy shopping streets on your doorstep, but also no boring suburb. Most homes are apartments in pre-war buildings, built in the Amsterdam School style or in more sober 1920s and 1930s architecture. High ceilings, wide staircases and large windows are typical of the owner-occupied homes that come onto the market here.

The neighbourhood has a distinctly young, highly educated population. As many as 65% of residents have a high level of education, and the largest group is between 25 and 45 years old. This is reflected in the streets: coffee shops, yoga studios and small specialist shops alternate along the Overtoom and the Jacob van Lennepkade. For daily groceries, you can go to the Albert Heijn on the Overtoom or the Dirk at Surinameplein, within walking distance of most addresses in the neighbourhood. The Vondelpark is literally around the corner, which for many residents is one of the main reasons for wanting to live here.

In terms of accessibility, Schinkelbuurt-Noord scores well. Trams 1, 11 and 17 run via the Overtoom towards the city centre, and you can reach Leidseplein or Central Station within ten minutes. By bike, the city centre can be reached in a quarter of an hour. For motorists, the A10 via the Stadhouderskade is a short distance away, although parking in the neighbourhood is a point of attention: paid parking applies here all day and parking pressure is high.

Residents particularly appreciate the location and the mix of tranquillity and liveliness. On the neighbourhood main page of Schinkelbuurt-Noord you can read all reviews and neighbourhood scores. One resident writes: "The Vondelpark as a back garden, the Overtoom for everything you need and yet no tourist crowds on the street. I wouldn't want to live anywhere else." Criticism focuses mainly on the parking problems and the sometimes busy Overtoom as a traffic artery.

Compared to Schinkelbuurt-Zuid, the northern part is more oriented towards the Vondelpark side and therefore slightly more sought-after ground for buyers who combine greenery and tranquillity with urban convenience. Those who want to compare the neighbourhood with other popular Amsterdam districts can also look at the Jordaan or the Haarlemmerbuurt, although prices there are in a similar range.

Who is a home in Schinkelbuurt-Noord interesting for?

Schinkelbuurt-Noord is pre-eminently a neighbourhood for young dual-income couples and movers who want to live in an urban setting without being in the tourist centre. The average purchase price of over €624,000 makes it difficult for first-time buyers with limited borrowing capacity, although homes from €400,000 can be found at the lower end of the market. Do expect to overbid: supply is scarce and demand is high. Families with children also find their place here, partly thanks to the proximity of the Vondelpark and various primary schools in the area, but large single-family homes are rare. Those considering renting as an intermediate step can view the rental homes in Schinkelbuurt-Noord as an alternative.
