Zuidwestkwadrant-Zuid, Amsterdam
AreaA 1965 apartment on Baden Powellweg
This apartment on Baden Powellweg sits in the Zuidwestkwadrant-Zuid area of Amsterdam, a part of the city with a strong, everyday rhythm. With 88 m² of living space, it is a generous size for a rental home, and the 1965 build gives it the solid proportions typical of that era. The energy label is E, which is on the lower end of the scale, so heating costs are something to budget for. At €1,600 per month, the rent sits about 40% below the neighbourhood average of €2,662, which makes it a keen price for the size. For context, apartments in Amsterdam in this bracket are not always easy to come by.
The Zuidwestkwadrant-Zuid neighbourhood

Just normal)", while another is more critical, mentioning "so often bombs and explosions" and "a lot of rubbish thrown on the ground". A third review notes that "the city is accessible from all sides and everything is well reachable". Based on four reviews, the picture is one of a neighbourhood with real strengths and real frustrations. The population is diverse, with a mix of families and single-person households, and the area is densely built, with a high address density. The Zuidwestkwadrant-Zuid neighbourhood is not a quiet suburb, but it is a place with plenty going on.
Life on the street
Daily life here is well served. For groceries, the Albert Heijn is just around the corner, with a Jumbo a couple of streets away at roughly 680 metres. There are also Lidl and Vomar options within a short walk. For schools, the Yuverta vmbo secondary school is on your doorstep, and the De Odyssee primary school is just next door. A park or green space is also close by,, which gives some breathing room in a dense urban setting. The nearest train station is about 4 km away, so the tram or bus will be part of the daily commute. The municipality of Amsterdam has a lot to offer, and this part of it is no exception.
