Overtoomse Veld-Zuid, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodThis listing on Postjesweg in Amsterdam is a rental home in a lively part of the city. This listing does not state a house number, postcode, property type, floor area, year of construction or energy label. As a result, the rest of this page is mainly about the street and the neighbourhood, not the home itself. The asking rent of €2,950 is well above the neighbourhood average, but without floor area it's hard to judge value. For context, rental homes in Amsterdam vary widely.

I live in Nieuw-West in Amsterdam. It doesn't have a very good reputation, which is partly justified but partly not so bad. Yes, every now and then you hear an explosion, which certainly isn't pleasant, but when you walk through the neighbourhood there's also a lot of diversity and I almost never feel unsafe (though that doesn't say much as a 1.90m man). Furthermore, it can be very cosy and there's a lot of greenery in the area, which is also very nice. The buildings are ugly, but I can live with that. The street is also very dirty, because apparently nobody cares about nature and the streetscape, so everything gets thrown on the street. In terms of amenities, there's enough, but if I need clothes, for example, I have to go to the city centre, so that's why it's not rated very high but still sufficient. The city centre is (by Amsterdam standards) fortunately not very far to cycle and there's also a train station nearby and the metro goes there too.
