Walvisbuurt, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodThis semi-detached house on Zuideinde sits in a quiet corner of Amsterdam, with a generous plot that gives you room to breathe. At 72 m² of living space, it's compact, but the 605 m² plot is the real draw, a rare find in the city. The energy label G means heating costs will be significant, and the home dates from 1946, so there's character and potential. The asking price of €875,000 is on the high side compared to other semi-detached houses in Amsterdam, reflecting the large plot.
The Walvisbuurt is a small neighbourhood with a mix of families and older residents. It's a quiet, green area with a strong sense of community. There are no resident reviews available, but the CBS figures show a neighbourhood with many families and a high proportion of owner-occupied homes. The area feels safe and well-maintained, with a park just a couple of streets away. For more context, see the Walvisbuurt neighbourhood.
For your morning bread, Albert Heijn is on your doorstep, and Dekamarkt and Lidl are just around the corner. Primary schools are within a five-minute walk: Montessori Kindcentrum Oostzanerwerf and IKC Tuindorp are both close by. The area is well-served for daily needs, with a GP and a restaurant also nearby. The municipality of Amsterdam provides all the usual city amenities, but here you're in a quieter pocket.

About Zuideinde 396, Amsterdam
The asking price of €875,000 is on the high side compared to other semi-detached houses in Amsterdam, but the 605 m² plot is exceptionally large for the city. The home itself is compact at 72 m² and has an energy label G, which means higher running costs. Whether it's fair depends on how much you value the outdoor space and the potential to extend or renovate.
Energy label G is the least efficient rating, so you can expect high heating bills. The home was built in 1946, so insulation and glazing are likely outdated. You may want to budget for improvements like double glazing or a new heating system, but the exact costs depend on the current installations, which are not detailed in the listing.
The nearest train station is 6.5 km away, so it's not within walking distance. You would need a bike, car, or bus to reach it. The area is better served by local amenities like supermarkets and schools, which are within a short walk.
