Buying a home in De Punt, Amsterdam.
De Punt is where you land in Amsterdam if you want calm without cutting yourself off from the city. The homes here are mostly 1930s and 1950s stock, often roomier than elsewhere in the inner city, with gardens that actually get used. Your neighbours are a mix of long-time Amsterdammers and young families who made the same choice: close to the centre, but with breathing room. The Amsterdamse Bos is walkable, and the Zuidas is growing as a business hub, so you're not isolated.

What does De Punt offer?
When you buy in Amsterdam, you're not just getting a house, you're joining a neighbourhood with its own rhythm. Most homes date from the 17th and 18th centuries, so expect narrow staircases, low ceilings, and windows overlooking canals or streets. Your neighbours are a mix: families rooted here for generations, young professionals, artists. Public transport works well, but most Amsterdammers simply cycle everywhere. What matters: it's busy, prices are steep, and you're paying for the location.
