Lodewijk van Deysselbuurt, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodThis terraced house on Melis Stokehof sits in a quiet corner of the Lodewijk van Deysselbuurt. With 138 m² of living space and a generous 1106 m² plot, it stands out from the crowd. At €550,000, the asking price is 18% above the neighbourhood average of €464,875, making it the most expensive of the eight homes currently for sale here, but the size and energy label A help explain why. For context, terraced houses in Amsterdam vary widely, and this one is on the high side.
The neighbourhood has a mixed reputation. Based on one review, a resident describes it as "unsafe, unhygienic, neglected," citing car fires, burglaries, and poor maintenance. That said, the area is densely urban (3806 addresses per km²) and home to many families, 565 households have children. Average household size is 2.3, and incomes are around the city norm. The Lodewijk van Deysselbuurt neighbourhood is a work in progress, with ongoing renewal efforts.
For daily shopping, the Dekamarkt is just around the corner, and Albert Heijn, Vomar, and Jumbo are all within a ten-minute walk. Primary schools are close by: De Dadelpalm is a couple of streets away, and the Pieter Jelles Troelstraschool is a five-minute walk. The nearest park is on your doorstep, and a restaurant is just around the corner. The municipality of Amsterdam provides all the usual city amenities, with public transport links nearby.
At present, the home is listed through several channels, including Hoekstra en van Eck. The asking price reflects the premium for a larger-than-average home with an energy-efficient label in a neighbourhood that is still finding its feet.
