About the area
What it's like to live here.
Streets around Witte de With (Eendrachtsplein, Eendrachtsweg, Schiedamsesingel) blend pre-war walk-up apartments, 1960s new-build, and recent lofts. The charm: everything within 3 minutes walking — coffee, art, bar, station.
For living-with-office this area is popular — many homes have small extra rooms that work as studio or workspace. Since 2020 we've seen a clear trend of people moving here from Amsterdam for a larger home at a lower price.
What plays strongly here: weekend noise. Friday and Saturday evenings, Witte de With and feeder streets get lively — fun if you want that, tricky if you have early mornings. At every viewing we explicitly plan a weekend check.
Our clients in this area are mostly 28-42, single or couple-without-children, first or second purchase. Many move on after 5-7 years to Kralingen or Hillegersberg once the family question arises. So: buy here with an eye on later resale (not for life).

What you usually ask
Cool / Witte de Withkwartier questions.
- How loud is it in weekends? +
- On Witte de Withstraat itself: noisy, especially Friday and Saturday evenings until 02:00. One street further: considerably quieter. At every viewing we plan a weekend visit so you hear the difference yourself.
- Are there still bargains? +
- Under €350k requires luck and speed — those homes sell within a week. We work with saved searches that email you when something new comes online. Ask us to put you on the list.
- How are the foundations? +
- Mixed. Some blocks are pile-founded, others on shallow footings. For pre-war build we always request a foundation investigation or historical report before purchase.
