Living in De Eendracht
De Eendracht is urban but not overwhelming, and most of its 923 homes are houses rather than apartments — front doors, gardens, street parking.
At 7,866 residents per km² the buurt is busy without being packed.
Amsterdam is the tightest housing market in the Netherlands: international workers, students and families chase the same limited stock, overbidding is routine in popular price bands, and a large social-housing sector keeps much of the city permanently off the open market. Where a buurt sits relative to the ring road (A10) and a metro or tram line explains a surprising share of its price.

Daily errands, coffee and dinner
Day to day: the nearest large supermarket is about 8 minutes' walk; dining out means a short trip: only 2 cafés or restaurants sit within a kilometer.
The practical checklist most buyers forget to make: pharmacy 11 min walk · GP 11 min · hospital 4.1 km · library 1.2 km. None of these will decide a purchase on their own, but a GP taking new patients nearby is the kind of thing you only miss after moving.
Families and schools
For families: the nearest primary school is 11 minutes on foot; daycare is well covered (4 locations nearby) — though Dutch waiting lists mean you register the week you know you're expecting, not the week you need it; secondary school is a 9-minute bike ride, which Dutch teenagers do in all weather.
Getting around
Getting around: the nearest train station is 4.0 km out, so day-to-day life here leans on the car or bus; a highway on-ramp 1.3 km away makes car trips easy — check whether through-traffic noise reaches the street you're considering; car ownership is moderate (1.0 per household).
Energy and running costs
100% of homes were built before 2000. Two identical-looking houses on the same street can differ by hundreds of euros a month once heating is counted — the energy label tells you which one you're looking at, and lenders increasingly price it into your mortgage too.
Before you bid in De Eendracht
Before you bid in De Eendracht: much of Amsterdam sits on soft soil, and pre-1970 homes may stand on wooden piles — since the 2026 appraisal rules, a foundation risk class (A–E) appears in every valuation, so check it before you bid, not after the deal is already emotional. Also, family neighborhoods like this one turn over slowly; when a good house appears it often goes to the first serious, well-prepared bidder.
None of these averages can tell you whether the specific house you found is fairly priced — that depends on its size, energy label, state of maintenance and the recent sales around it. That is exactly what a free HomeReview report checks, in about 10 seconds, for any Dutch address.
