Zuidwestkwadrant-Zuid, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on Jan van Zutphenstraat sits in a quiet, well-planned corner of Osdorp. Built in 2007, it offers a generous 116 m² of living space, a third larger than the neighbourhood average. The energy label B means it's reasonably efficient. At €550,000, the asking price is 19% above the local average of €461,889, which reflects the extra space and modern build. For context, apartments in Amsterdam vary widely, but this one is on the high side for the area.
The Zuidwestkwadrant-Zuid neighbourhood is a mixed, family-friendly area with plenty of playgrounds and green spaces. Based on four reviews, opinions are divided. One resident calls it "adequate" and notes "plenty of educational opportunities, supermarkets like Albert Heijn and Jumbo" and "many playgrounds, so really family-friendly." Another is less positive, mentioning "so often bombs and explosions" and "a lot of rubbish thrown on the ground." A third review highlights the presence of a squatter's pro-Palestine building with flags and hate texts, while acknowledging the area is "nice for walking and cycling" and "all shops are present." The neighbourhood has a high address density (4,584 per km²), typical of a strongly urban area.
For daily groceries, an Albert Heijn is just around the corner, with a Lidl and a Jumbo a ten-minute walk away. There are several primary schools within walking distance, including Basisschool de Wereldburger and De Odyssee, both about a five-minute walk. Secondary school Yuverta vmbo Amsterdam-West is also just around the corner. A park or public garden is on your doorstep, and a restaurant is a couple of streets away. The neighbourhood falls under the municipality of Amsterdam, which means all city amenities are accessible.
At the time of writing, the home is listed through several channels, including Nieuw West Makelaardij B.V.

Hardly any Dutch shops... mostly Muslim. On Tussenmeer 85 there is a squatter's pro-Palestine building... while everything is being done in the neighbourhood to make it nice. The building is full of Palestine flags and hate texts. We want more Dutch shops... For the rest... nice area for walking and cycling. The city is accessible from all sides and everything is well reachable. All shops are present.
Auto-translated to English by AIAdequate/average (not bad, but not fantastic either. Just normal), it's not the best, but no neighbourhood is; things can always change/improve. Plenty of educational opportunities, supermarkets like Albert Heijn and Jumbo, a bit further (15 minutes walk) there's also the centre with all sorts of other amenities such as shops, supermarkets, ice cream shops, restaurants, etc. Many playgrounds, so really family-friendly. However, I must admit that there is little parking space, possibly due to these amenities. Hygiene could also be better; there is often some rubbish on the ground that doesn't belong there, like cans etc. Housing: there are many homes and houses in the neighbourhood, also with private and shared garages, so really great.
Auto-translated to English by AIThere are so often bombs and explosions. And a lot of rubbish thrown on the ground. Constant arguments. Many young people with fitbikes. Almost got run over.
Auto-translated to English by AIVaried. I can't describe it with one word because in some areas it differs greatly from another. One aspect is simply a bit less good, for example there is very little parking space. Other areas are really great, everything is nearby, much is within walking distance, think schools, supermarkets, city centre, restaurants etc. That there is little greenery is not surprising when you live in a neighbourhood. Hygiene could also be better in my opinion, there are many things always on the street while there is a bin just 1 metre away.
