Sportheldenbuurt, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodThis is a 23 m² room in a 2016 building on the Kees Broekmanstraat, in the Sportheldenbuurt on Zeeburgereiland. It is social housing, let through Roommatch, and the rent of €755 sits well below the neighbourhood average for rentals, which is a notable point for a room in this part of Amsterdam. For context, rooms in Amsterdam vary widely in price, so this one is keenly priced for what it is.
The Sportheldenbuurt neighbourhood is a relatively young area, with most residents between 25 and 45 and a high share of single-person households. The housing stock is almost entirely flats, and the majority are rented rather than owned. It is a quiet, residential part of the city, with a mix of young professionals and students. There are no resident reviews available for this neighbourhood, so the picture here is based on the figures rather than personal accounts.
For daily shopping, an Albert Heijn is just around the corner, and a Jumbo is a short trip away. There are several schools within walking distance, including Cburg College and ALASCA for secondary education, and KC De Optimist for primary. A GP practice is also close by, which is handy for everyday needs. The municipality of Amsterdam provides the wider context, with the city centre a short journey from this eastern island neighbourhood.

About Kees Broekmanstraat 117, Amsterdam
The rent of €755 is well below the average rental price in the Sportheldenbuurt, which stands at €2,393. However, this is a room of 23 m², much smaller than the average rental property in the area. Compared with the average price per square metre for rooms in the neighbourhood, this rent is in line with what you would expect for a room of this size.
The energy label is A, which is the most efficient label. This means the home is very energy-efficient, so you can expect relatively low energy costs. The label is an official registration and reflects the energy performance of the property as a whole.
An Albert Heijn is just 159 metres away, so it is on your doorstep for daily groceries. Other options within a couple of kilometres include another Albert Heijn, a Jumbo and a Lidl, giving you plenty of choice for your weekly shop.
There are several schools within walking distance. Cburg College and ALASCA, both secondary schools, are about 170 and 238 metres away respectively. For primary education, KC De Optimist is around 306 metres from the room, so school runs would be very short.
Yes, this room is social housing, which means it is let under social housing rules. The rent of €755 is within the social housing threshold, and the room is offered through Roommatch. Eligibility for social housing typically depends on income and other criteria set by the housing provider.
The nearest train station is 3.8 kilometres away. This is a bit of a distance, so you would likely cycle or take public transport to reach it. The room is on Zeeburgereiland, which is well connected to the rest of Amsterdam by road and cycle paths.

How residents experience their district
I've lived here for less than a year, but I feel very much at home. Young community with many initiatives and activities. There's almost always something to do or someone who wants to do something with the neighbourhood. Fortunately, I don't experience any nuisance in my neighbourhood. The only thing that could be better is more shops or supermarkets. We now have a small Albert Heijn on the island, but it's extremely small and there's little choice.
Auto-translated to English by AIIn principle, it's a fine neighbourhood with lots of students; a lot is organised for residents by residents. However, I do sometimes hear quite serious stories about safety in the area. Girls being followed and stories like that. Besides that, the neighbourhood is really a mess. People throw their rubbish everywhere. It is close to the university, which is nice. But it's annoying that there is no (large) supermarket nearby. Only a very small Albert Heijn.
Auto-translated to English by AII enjoy living here, although I do regret that for many things you have to go to Ijburg or towards the centre. I would like to see more nice little shops or such on the island.

How residents experience their municipality
Een hele fijne, rustige buurt met veel groen en geweldige bomen die verkoeling en ontspanning bieden. 's nachts is het er stil en donker. Dat vind ik belangrijk voor de dieren. De buurt is goed bereikbaar met metro 54 en voorzieningen zijn op loopafstand in winkelcentrum de Poort. 1 ding is een ongelofelijke doorn in het oog en dat is de hygiene. Het is dagelijks een puinzoo bij de vuilcontainers. Zwerfafval waait overal naar toe. En hoewel we met een aantal bewoners dagelijks 'prikken' en opruimen is het een never ending story. Ik zou zo graag zien dat daar een oplossing voor komt.
Auto-translated to English by AIIJburg is a new district still under development and it's getting better with all the amenities and a beach nearby. And you're also quickly out of the city and into the greenery.
Auto-translated to English by AIQuiet, peaceful, relaxed, green, social and a nice mix of people
Auto-translated to English by AII lived here for about 12 years. The neighbourhood has clear advantages: good connections by tram, bus and ferry/boat, plenty of supermarkets, gyms and practical amenities nearby. For me, however, there was one major drawback: structural low-frequency noise, demonstrably coming from commercial shipping on the Amsterdam-Rijnkanaal. If you are sensitive to that, it can be very burdensome. In my case, it was clearly noticeable indoors, especially at night. Neighbours said they slept with earplugs and extra insulation offered limited to no solution. The municipality took measurements at the time and acknowledged that the noise was significant, but indicated they could do little or nothing about it because the source fell outside their direct authority. My honest advice: visit this neighbourhood not only during the day, but also in the evening and at night, and pay specific attention to low-frequency humming or vibrations. For people sensitive to noise, I would personally strongly advise against this location.

Auto-translated to English by AINice, quiet and reasonably cosy neighbourhood. Good accessibility, the Amsterdam Forest nearby. Lots of different facilities within walking distance. Nice to live here with a family and pets! Quite a few schools within cycling distance. Hygiene in the neighbourhood is above the average level in Amsterdam. VUmc very close by.
Auto-translated to English by AIAt the end of the Silodam lies the striking MVRDV building. Surrounded by water on all sides. Every apartment has a view of the IJ and/or the Oude Houthaven. The views are therefore phenomenal and every day is different due to the weather. The sunrises and sunsets are unbeatable. Because the building is at the end of the Silodam, there is no through traffic and every person is either a resident or a visitor. This makes it, by Amsterdam standards, an exceptionally safe living environment. There is little turnover. The residents of this building form a close-knit community. A nice mix of families with and without children and single people who help each other where needed. And that too is a special quality in an increasingly transient Amsterdam. Within walking distance are the Haarlemmerdijk and the markets where you can find all the hustle and bustle if you feel like it. On the Silodam there is peace and quiet, a delight for body and mind. The wind, the seagulls, the waves on the IJ, the boats, occasionally a cruise ship, and every 5 years Sail! A little paradise in Amsterdam? Absolutely!
Auto-translated to English by AIBecause we are on the outskirts, there is no through traffic. In the middle of the street a large playground with a table tennis table and a small football pitch. And playground equipment. Behind our house only meadows.
