Van der Pekbuurt, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodThis studio on Begoniastraat 16A sits in a lively part of Amsterdam-Noord, where the old village feel meets ongoing development. At 42 m² it's compact but efficient, and with an A energy label it's one of the more efficient homes in the area. The asking price of €395,000 is in line with the market, the median in the neighbourhood is €400,000, and studios in Amsterdam average around that too.
The Van der Pekbuurt is a neighbourhood in transition, with a mix of older housing and new builds. One resident describes it as 'a little village among the apartment blocks', adding that it's 'easily accessible by both car and public transport'. The same review notes that rubbish on the street and rats are an issue. The area is densely populated (over 3,500 addresses per km²) and has a young profile, most residents are between 25 and 45. For more on the area, see the neighbourhood Van der Pekbuurt.
For daily shopping, you have Albert Heijn and Vomar both just around the corner, and Dirk and Jumbo a couple of streets away. Schools are close too: IKC Overhoeks (primary) is a five-minute walk, and Hyperion Lyceum (secondary) is even closer. The municipality Amsterdam offers plenty of cultural and recreational options, with a park or garden just around the corner and a restaurant on your doorstep.
At the time of writing the home is listed through several channels, including Van Wonderen Makelaardij B.V. and Funda.

There is a mix of poor and rich, the neighbourhood is still being renovated and the area is fully under development, but already beautiful, a little village among the apartment blocks. Easily accessible by both car and public transport, I say: a top location. As for hygiene; a lot of rubbish on the street and near the bins, I regularly see rats running around.

About Begoniastraat 16A, Amsterdam
The asking price of €395,000 is very close to the median of €400,000 for homes currently for sale in the Van der Pekbuurt. Given the 42 m² floor area and A energy label, it's priced in line with the market, not a bargain, but not overpriced either.
Residents describe it as a 'little village among the apartment blocks' with good accessibility by car and public transport. The neighbourhood is still being renovated and has a mix of incomes. One review mentions rubbish on the street and rats, so hygiene is a point of attention. The area is very urban with a young population.
The nearest train station is 4.8 km away, so it's not within walking distance. You'd need a bus, bike or car to reach it. The neighbourhood is well served by public transport though, according to residents.
