Haarlemmerbuurt-West, Amsterdam
This terraced house on Binnen Oranjestraat sits right in the thick of things, the centre is on your doorstep, with the buzz of the Haarlemmerbuurt all around. At 152 m² it's a generous space, especially for this part of town. The rent of €3,650 is 32% above the neighbourhood average, so it's on the high side, but then you're paying for a home that's 149% larger than the typical rental here. For context, terraced houses in Amsterdam are scarce, which partly explains the premium.
The Haarlemmerbuurt-West neighbourhood is as central as it gets, with everything you need within walking distance. Based on two reviews, residents appreciate the convenience: one calls it 'cosy' and notes 'everything at hand, it's the centre, centrally located'. Another finds it 'a very pleasant neighbourhood to live in' with 'a good atmosphere and many amenities', though they mention that homeless people and tourists can cause nuisance and that the area can feel unhygienic. The neighbourhood is densely populated, mostly one-person households (63%), and the streets are busy, reflecting its urbanity level of 1 (very strong).
For your morning bread or evening groceries, Albert Heijn is just around the corner, with Ekoplaza a couple of streets away and Jumbo a five-minute walk. Families have several primary schools within a ten-minute walk, including de Burght and Montessori Basisschool de Eilanden, while secondary school Vinse School is just a couple of streets away.

How residents experience their neighbourhood
everything at hand, it's the centre, centrally located
Auto-translated to English by AII find the Haarlemmerbuurt a very pleasant neighbourhood to live in. There is a good atmosphere and there are many amenities. Homeless people and tourists do regularly cause nuisance and the fact that the neighbourhood is unhygienic.

How residents experience their municipality
IJburg 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.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's a nice quiet neighbourhood on the edge of the city but still close to many good amenities that a city has to offer. The neighbourhood is still becoming more beautiful.
