Emanuel van Meterenbuurt, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodThis 1956 terraced house on Hemsterhuisstraat sits in a neighbourhood that feels a bit rough around the edges. With 137 m² of living space and a 139 m² plot, it's a solid family home. The price of €895,000 is on the high side compared to recent sales in the area, where the average was around €767,000. For context, terraced houses in Amsterdam vary widely, but this one stands out for its size.
The neighbourhood Emanuel van Meterenbuurt gets a middling score from its two reviewers. One resident says: "A very messy neighbourhood. It is messy, dirty, the paving stones are pushed up by the tree roots. It is run-down." Another adds: "Not a nice neighbourhood because of bulky waste disposal with rats, front gardens that are not well maintained, paving stones that are uneven." On the plus side, both mention good public transport and nearby shops. The area is densely populated with many families and a mix of ages.
For your daily bread, Dirk is just around the corner, and Albert Heijn is a couple of streets away. There's also an AH to go within a ten-minute walk. Schools are close: Oecumenische basisschool Pro Rege is on your doorstep, and Het Hervormd Lyceum West is a couple of streets away. The municipality Amsterdam offers plenty of green space, with a park or garden just around the corner.
At the time of writing the home is listed via Urban Makelaars and also through Urban Makelaars - Thuis in Groot Amsterdam.

I live near the Lelylaan. There is a small shopping area. Public transport is good: trams, buses, metro, train, excellent. It is messy, dirty, the paving stones are pushed up by the tree roots. It is run-down, there is greenery but according to the tree expert the trees are diseased. Sloterplas is within walking distance. There are a few schools in the neighbourhood. There are a few amenities.
Auto-translated to English by AII moved here in 2022 but I don't think it's a proper neighbourhood because of bulky waste disposal with rats, front gardens that are not well maintained, paving stones that are uneven and not neatly aligned; I fell earlier this year. No, not a nice neighbourhood. The neighbourhood is easily accessible by public transport, car and bike; the nearest shopping area is Sierplein.
