Gibraltarbuurt, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodThis studio on Solebaystraat sits in the Gibraltarbuurt, a compact neighbourhood in Amsterdam-West. At 43 m² it's a manageable space, and with an E energy label you'll want to budget for heating. The asking price of €375,000 is 35% below the neighbourhood average of €578,409, which makes it a keen option for a starter home. For context, studios in Amsterdam vary widely in price and size.
The Gibraltarbuurt is a dense, urban area with a very strong city feel (over 5,300 addresses per km²). It's a young neighbourhood: nearly half the residents are between 25 and 45, and most households are single-person. Two residents have reviewed the area: one says "Is no longer such a nice neighbourhood" and mentions "Many drug-using and drug-dealing Moroccan loitering youths". The other gave a low score but didn't elaborate. Based on just two reviews, it's a mixed picture. The neighbourhood Gibraltarbuurt has a high proportion of pre-war housing (96%) and a relatively low homeownership rate (22%).
For daily groceries, an Albert Heijn is just around the corner, and a Lidl is a couple of streets away. There are several primary schools within walking distance: IKC de Boomgaard is a five-minute walk, and De Zijderoute is similarly close. For secondary education, the nearest school is about a 15-minute walk. The municipality Amsterdam offers extensive amenities, but this part of town is primarily residential with a few local shops and restaurants nearby.
At the time of writing the home is listed via VHM Makelaars Amsterdam B.V. and also appears on Pararius, so it's available through two channels.

About Solebaystraat 82H, Amsterdam
The asking price of €375,000 is 35% below the average asking price in the Gibraltarbuurt (€578,409). However, the studio is also 31% smaller than the neighbourhood average (62 m²).

The Gibraltarbuurt is a very densely populated urban area with a young population. Two residents have reviewed it: one says it 'is no longer such a nice neighbourhood' due to drug-related nuisance, while the other gave a low score without details. It's a mixed picture, so it's worth visiting at different times to get a feel for the area.
The nearest train station is 2.4 km away, which is about a 30-minute walk or a short bike ride.
The energy label is E, which means the home is not very energy-efficient. You can expect higher heating costs compared to a home with a better label. The building dates from 1934, so insulation may be limited.
Yes, an Albert Heijn is just around the corner (164 m), and another Albert Heijn is a couple of streets away (262 m). A Lidl is about a five-minute walk (584 m). So daily shopping is very convenient.
