Zuidwestkwadrant-Zuid, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodThis is a rare find: a modern terraced house from 2008 with a floor area of 148 m² and a massive 3870 m² plot, that's more than 25 times the average in the neighbourhood. The energy label A means it's efficient to run. At €695,000, the price is 50% above the neighbourhood average, but you're getting a home that's 70% larger than the norm, so it's a fair deal for the space. For context, terraced houses in Amsterdam vary widely, but this one stands out.
The neighbourhood Zuidwestkwadrant-Zuid is home to about 6,200 people, with a mix of families and singles. One resident describes it as "adequate/average", not bad, not fantastic, noting plenty of playgrounds and supermarkets like Albert Heijn and Jumbo. Another calls it "Hamas headquarters," pointing to a pro-Palestine squat and litter, but also says it's "nice for walking and cycling." A third review mentions "bombs and explosions" and arguments, though this seems to refer to isolated incidents. Overall, it's a diverse neighbourhood with both upsides and downsides.
For your morning bread, Albert Heijn is just around the corner, and Lidl is a five-minute walk away. There are several primary schools within walking distance: Basisschool de Wereldburger is on your doorstep, and the Osdorpse Montessori School is a couple of streets away. For secondary education, Yuverta vmbo Amsterdam-West is a five-minute walk. The municipality Amsterdam offers all the amenities you'd expect from a major city, with parks and restaurants nearby.
At the time of writing, the home is listed through several channels, including MakelaarFRANK and Funda. It's a well-documented listing with all key details provided.

Hardly any Dutch shops... mostly Muslim. On Tussenmeer 85 there is a squatter's pro-Palestine building... while everything is being done in the neighbourhood to make it nice. The building is full of Palestine flags and hate texts. We want more Dutch shops... For the rest... nice area for walking and cycling. The city is accessible from all sides and everything is well reachable. All shops are present.
Auto-translated to English by AIAdequate/average (not bad, but not fantastic either. Just normal), it's not the best, but no neighbourhood is; things can always change/improve. Plenty of educational opportunities, supermarkets like Albert Heijn and Jumbo, a bit further (15 minutes walk) there's also the centre with all sorts of other amenities such as shops, supermarkets, ice cream shops, restaurants, etc. Many playgrounds, so really family-friendly. However, I must admit that there is little parking space, possibly due to these amenities. Hygiene could also be better; there is often some rubbish on the ground that doesn't belong there, like cans etc. Housing: there are many homes and houses in the neighbourhood, also with private and shared garages, so really great.
Auto-translated to English by AIThere are so often bombs and explosions. And a lot of rubbish thrown on the ground. Constant arguments. Many young people with fitbikes. Almost got run over.
Auto-translated to English by AIVaried. I can't describe it with one word because in some areas it differs greatly from another. One aspect is simply a bit less good, for example there is very little parking space. Other areas are really great, everything is nearby, much is within walking distance, think schools, supermarkets, city centre, restaurants etc. That there is little greenery is not surprising when you live in a neighbourhood. Hygiene could also be better in my opinion, there are many things always on the street while there is a bin just 1 metre away.

About Johan Hofmanstraat 86, Amsterdam
The asking price is 50% above the neighbourhood average of €461,889, but the home is also 70% larger than the average (148 m² vs 87 m²) and sits on a huge 3870 m² plot. Comparable homes in the area sell for around €486,881 on average, so this one is priced at a premium for its size and energy efficiency (label A). It's a fair price for what you get, but it's on the high side for the neighbourhood.
The plot is 3870 m², which is exceptionally large for a terraced house in Amsterdam. However, the listing does not specify how much of that is garden versus other outdoor space. You would need to check the exact layout with the agent.
The energy label is A, which is very efficient. This means the home is well-insulated and has low energy costs compared to older homes. In the neighbourhood, 47.1% of homes have label A and 35.3% have A+, so this home is in line with the best in the area.
The nearest train station is 4 km away, which is about a ten-minute drive or a 15-minute bike ride. Public transport within the neighbourhood is not detailed in the listing, but Amsterdam's tram and bus network is extensive.
