Willemsparkbuurt-Noord, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodThis is a substantial 1924 townhouse in the heart of Amsterdam's Willemsparkbuurt-Noord, with 290 m² of living space spread over several floors. The asking price of €3,800,000 is 21% above the neighbourhood average of €3,129,815, which reflects the home's generous size, 55% larger than the typical home in the area. For context, terraced houses in Amsterdam vary widely, but this one stands out for its proportions.
Willemsparkbuurt-Noord is a quiet, leafy pocket of Amsterdam with a mix of families and professionals. One resident describes it as "boring" and notes: "Not much to do. Almost no greenery on the street, also gets extremely hot in summer. You never see anyone walking around and rubbish is collected on time. But extremely noisy with construction workers starting at 7 am." That's based on a single review, so take it as one perspective. The area has a high density of addresses (8,335 per km²), typical of a very strongly urban setting. Most homes here were built before 1945, and the neighbourhood Willemsparkbuurt-Noord has a mix of owner-occupied and rental properties.
For daily errands, you have an Albert Heijn just around the corner and a Jumbo a couple of streets away. There's also a Dirk and an Ekoplaza within a five-minute walk. For schools, the Montessori Lyceum Oostpoort ISK (secondary) is a five-minute walk, and De Kleine Nicolaas (primary) is also close by. The municipality Amsterdam offers a wide range of amenities, but here in the neighbourhood, you'll find a GP and a park both within a five-minute walk.
At the time of writing, the home is listed via Hulstkamp Christie's Makelaars and is also available through other channels.

The asking price is 21% above the neighbourhood average of €3,129,815, but the home is also 55% larger than the typical property in the area (290 m² vs 187 m²). The price per square metre works out at about €13,103, which is below the neighbourhood average of €16,348 per m². So while the total price is high, you are getting more space for your money compared to other homes in the buurt.
The home has energy label D. In the neighbourhood, about 33% of homes have label A or better, while 17% have label D or lower. Label D means the home is not particularly energy-efficient, so you can expect higher heating costs compared to a more modern home. It's worth checking the specific insulation and heating systems when viewing.
The plot is 166 m², but the listing does not mention a garden or terrace. The home is a townhouse, so there may be a courtyard or small garden, but this is not stated.
The neighbourhood has a mix of households: about 27% have children, 29% are couples without children, and 49% are single-person households. There are several primary and secondary schools within walking distance, including De Kleine Nicolaas (393 m) and Montessori Lyceum Oostpoort ISK (340 m). The area is quiet but one resident noted it can be noisy from construction work starting early.
The nearest train station is 2.4 km away. That's about a 30-minute walk or a short cycle ride.
You have an Albert Heijn at 138 m and a Jumbo at 203 m, both within a couple of minutes' walk. There's also a Dirk and an Ekoplaza within 600 m. A GP is 400 m away, and a park is 400 m away. Restaurants are just 200 m from the door.
The listing does not state the number of rooms or bedrooms. With 290 m² of living space, it is likely to have multiple rooms, but the exact layout is not provided. You would need to check the floor plan or ask the agent.

How residents experience their municipality
Een hele fijne, rustige buurt met veel groen en geweldige bomen die verkoeling en ontspanning bieden. 's nachts is het er stil en donker. Dat vind ik belangrijk voor de dieren. De buurt is goed bereikbaar met metro 54 en voorzieningen zijn op loopafstand in winkelcentrum de Poort. 1 ding is een ongelofelijke doorn in het oog en dat is de hygiene. Het is dagelijks een puinzoo bij de vuilcontainers. Zwerfafval waait overal naar toe. En hoewel we met een aantal bewoners dagelijks 'prikken' en opruimen is het een never ending story. Ik zou zo graag zien dat daar een oplossing voor komt.

Auto-translated to English by AII 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 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.
