The Sarphatiparkbuurt
The Sarphatiparkbuurt neighbourhood is a close-knit, established area. One resident, who has lived here for fifty years, calls it a "Lovely neighbourhood", a simple but telling endorsement. The area is home to around 5,150 people, with a high proportion of single-person households. It is a youthful part of the city, with nearly half of residents aged between 25 and 45. The streets are busy with a mix of long-time locals and newer arrivals, giving the area a settled yet energetic feel.
Life on the street
Daily errands are easy here. A Lidl is just around the corner, with an Albert Heijn and a Jumbo a couple of streets away, so the weekly shop is never far. For families, there are several primary schools within a short walk, including the 3e Daltonschool Alberdingk Thijm and Basisschool Oscar Carré. The nearest secondary school, IVKO - Leren van Kunst, is also close by. The municipality of Amsterdam offers a dense network of amenities, and this part of the city is well served for everyday needs.
