Betondorp, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on Middenweg sits in Betondorp, a pocket of Amsterdam that feels more like a friendly village than a bustling city. With 89 m² of living space, it's a comfortable size for a couple or a small family. The energy label is E, so heating costs will be something to factor in. At €595,000, the asking price is a bit above the neighbourhood median of €475,000, but given the size and the area's charm, it's in line with the market for apartments in Amsterdam.
Betondorp is a green, low-rise neighbourhood with a strong sense of community. One resident describes it as a "village in the city," noting the social atmosphere and lots of greenery. Another says: "Betondorp is a nice green neighbourhood. With many low-rise buildings. People know each other and there is a village atmosphere." The neighbourhood has a mix of ages, with many one-person households and a fair number of families. It's a place where people look out for each other, as one review mentions: "Everyone is warned if something unusual happens." The neighbourhood Betondorp is known for its community centre and local eateries.
For your morning bread, the bakery De Lekkernij is just around the corner. For bigger shops, Vomar is a five-minute walk away, and AH XL and Jumbo are also within a couple of streets. There are several primary schools nearby, including Openbare Basisschool De Octopus a five-minute walk away and Oecumenische Basisschool De Ark a bit further. The neighbourhood lacks a supermarket for daily groceries, so you'll need to walk a bit for that, but the bakery and a cosy café-restaurant, De Avonden, make up for it. The municipality Amsterdam offers plenty of parks and green spaces close by.

Quite good. When the children went to school, there was more involvement. People want to live larger when children come. So before you get to know a new resident, they've already left. Then you really miss the togetherness. But you can always turn to someone if you need someone. By placing fences between the gardens and more lighting, they try to offer more safety. Everyone is warned if something unusual happens. For all advice if you are alone, never just open the door. Call someone who can be with you quickly is always the advice.
Auto-translated to English by AIBetondorp is a village in the city of Amsterdam. At least, that's how it feels. Social but also built in a very urban way on the edge of the city. Lots of greenery and children can play outside. Various childcare options for young children. There are only few shops for daily groceries. There is a good bakery, de lekkernij, where you can also eat a sandwich or take one away. Only on Thursday mornings there is a cheese seller. There is also a café-restaurant, De Avonden, where various meals can be eaten. Or just have a drink. There is a community centre, Brinkhuis, where various activities are organised. For both young and old. But the lack of shops is a drawback. You really have to go out to do your shopping. Betondorp celebrated its 100th anniversary last year. In the past there were many shops, which have all disappeared one by one. About 40 shops, I think. There were also many more children attending school at Zuivelplein. This school now has other functions, including studios, childcare and an Islamic organisation. It would be nice if some small specialist shops would come to Betondorp. Like a mini-supermarket and a greengrocer. A place to quietly enjoy a cup of coffee with something sweet. But otherwise I am a happy resident of Betondorp. I love this green little village. I hope to live here for a long time with great pleasure.
Auto-translated to English by AIBetondorp is a nice green neighbourhood. With many low-rise buildings. People know each other and there is a village atmosphere. There is a lot of greenery in the neighbourhood and there are plans for more. Unfortunately no supermarket or grocer. But there is a very good bakery (de Lekkernij) that opens early. There is also a cosy (eatery) Cafe de Avonden. With heated terrace. In it, the Brinkhuis, a community centre where many things are organised for the neighbourhood. For example, you can enjoy a hot meal twice a week for a small fee. There are also many creative clubs in the Brinkhuis. It is nice to live in Betondorp, only a pity that there is no shop for daily groceries. There is childcare for the very young. For older children there is no school in Betondorp. Finally, for me the ideal neighbourhood, spacious, green and low-rise.
Auto-translated to English by AIUnfortunately no supermarket, but a lovely bakery where you can also sit with a terrace in summer. Community centre on the Brink, the Brinkhuis, former library, which is very active and connecting for young and old. There is a living room project by the Salvation Army where you can have coffee and a chat. It's not yet open all day. There is a lot of greenery in the neighbourhood and also many gardens, which emphasises the village character. There is a good public transport connection. Various buses and tram 19. There are several childcare options. Betondorp has a neighbourhood concierge for cultural matters, located at Onderlangs 36. They organise exhibitions and other cultural events within Betondorp that are well worth seeing. Onderlangs is the green strip around Betondorp with playground equipment and (picnic) benches. It's just a shame that rubbish is often put out too early. Disfiguring for such a beautiful place. Last year this neighbourhood celebrated its hundredth anniversary, and it was celebrated extensively. The architecture is still striking. Definitely worth a look. I have been a resident of this village for two years and every day I count myself lucky to have a house here. In a village 15 minutes from the centre of Amsterdam. Ideal.
Auto-translated to English by AIPleasant, I live nicely. Unfortunately only one bakery in the village. While it used to be bustling with shops. Now you have to leave the village for your groceries. That's not for everyone. Many elderly population. More shops, more frequent or better rubbish collection service. Enforcement. Many children playing until late in the evening.
Auto-translated to English by AII've lived here for 50 years. Of a nice neighbourhood where people knew each other, nothing is what it seems. Activities are organised quite a bit. But I miss the togetherness and care in the neighbourhood. Only a baker left, nothing more. No school anymore. Village is becoming polluted. Not only the people, but also institutions do little to nothing about it. Renovated 40 years ago, little done since. Such a shame. This is how a neighbourhood deteriorates. We have lighting everywhere, also gates for which only residents have keys. Plenty of tips via the community centre.
