The asking price of €735,000 is 24% below the neighbourhood average of €965,000, and also below the median of €950,000. However, the floor area of 103 m² is 32% smaller than the neighbourhood average of 152 m². So you're paying less for a smaller home. Compared to similar terraced houses in Amsterdam, it's priced keenly.
The home has an energy label A+, which is the highest efficiency rating. This means very low energy costs for heating and electricity. In the neighbourhood, 34.8% of homes have label A+ and 65.2% have label A, so this home is among the most efficient.
The neighbourhood has many families: 58% of households have children, and the average household size is 2.6 people. There are several primary schools within walking distance and a secondary school just around the corner. However, some residents find the area boring with few playgrounds or cosy outdoor spots.
One long-term resident reports structural low-frequency noise from commercial shipping on the Amsterdam-Rijnkanaal, noticeable indoors especially at night. The municipality acknowledged the noise but said they could do little. If you're sensitive to noise, it's worth visiting in the evening to check.
The nearest train station is 6 km away. The neighbourhood is well connected by tram and bus, but for train travel you'd need to cycle or take public transport to the station.
Dekamarkt is just around the corner (638 m), and Albert Heijn is a ten-minute walk (1.1 km). There's also a Vomar and a Jumbo within a 15-minute walk. So daily groceries are very convenient.
The house was built in 2008, so it's relatively modern. In the neighbourhood, 65.2% of homes were built after 2010, so this one is from the earlier phase of development. Modern construction typically means good insulation and low maintenance.
The plot size is 45 m², which typically includes a small garden or courtyard.
How residents experience their neighbourhood
I 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 AIThere are no good places to be outside. The Theo van Gogh park is ugly and not cosy. No nice benches in spots and no things like a gym (chain), coffeeshop or late-night snack bar or the like.

Auto-translated to English by AIIt is generally quite nice and safe, but there are a few neighbours who can be extremely rude and threatening, and that is very disappointing.
Auto-translated to English by AIThere is neighbourhood prevention, street coaches, etc., the streets are relatively clean, there are some parks and from my house some nature area(-like) is accessible. There are water pumps, playgrounds, rubbish bins. Houses are expensive and there is little public transport, the bridges are annoying.

How residents experience their district
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 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.
