Theo van Goghparkbuurt, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodThis 2008-built terraced house on Max de Haasstraat sits in the quiet, family-oriented Theo van Goghparkbuurt on Amsterdam's IJburg islands. With 113 m² of living space and an energy label A, it's an efficient, low-maintenance home. At €750,000, the asking price is 26% below the neighbourhood average of €1,015,834, making it a keen entry into this sought-after part of town. For context, terraced houses in Amsterdam vary widely, but this one stands out for its value.
The neighbourhood Theo van Goghparkbuurt is a modern residential area with a mix of families and couples. Two-thirds of homes were built after 2010, and half are owner-occupied. Residents give mixed reviews: one says it's a "decent neighbourhood but with noise pollution" from shipping on the Amsterdam-Rijnkanaal, while another finds it "inaccessible and little to do," noting the park is "ugly and not cosy." A third calls it "very boring" with no nice playgrounds or seating spots. Based on five reviews, the neighbourhood scores a 6.22 out of 10.
Daily errands are easy: a Dekamarkt is just around the corner, and an Albert Heijn is a ten-minute walk. For schools, Montessori Lyceum Terra Nova is a couple of streets away, and primary schools De Poseidon and Basisschool de Archipel are within a five-minute walk. The park is on your doorstep, and a restaurant is just around the corner. The municipality Amsterdam offers excellent public transport connections, with tram and bus stops nearby and a ferry across the IJ.
At the time of writing, the home is listed via Hallie & Van Klooster Makelaardij and also appears on Funda, so it's available through several channels.

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 AIvery boring. no nice areas or interesting playgrounds. also no nice seating spots.
Auto-translated to English by AIMany speed bumps, few public transport options.
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.

About Max de Haasstraat 7, Amsterdam
The asking price of €750,000 is 26% below the neighbourhood average of €1,015,834, but the home is also 29% smaller than the average (113 m² vs 159 m²). Given the modern build, energy label A, and the fact that similar homes in the area sell for a median of €1,037,500, this price is on the keen side. However, the neighbourhood has mixed reviews, which may factor into the pricing.
The home has energy label A, which is very efficient. This means low energy costs and a comfortable indoor climate. In the neighbourhood, 63% of homes have label A and 37% have label A+, so this home is in line with the local standard.
The nearest train station is 6 km away. This is a significant distance, so you would rely on tram, bus, or ferry for public transport connections to the city centre.
Residents mention two main issues: low-frequency noise from commercial shipping on the Amsterdam-Rijnkanaal, which can be intrusive at night, and a lack of cosy outdoor spaces, playgrounds, and amenities like a gym or late-night snack bar. The park is described as 'ugly and not cosy.'
The plot size is 60 m², but the listing does not explicitly mention a garden. Given that it's a terraced house, there may be a small outdoor space, but this is not confirmed in the data.
