Populierenbuurt, Amstelveen
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on Populierenlaan sits in a leafy part of Amstelveen, where the streets are lined with mature trees and the pace is calm. At €449,000 for 88 m², the price is in line with the market, similar apartments in Amstelveen sell for around €5,202 per m², so you're paying a fair rate for the space.
The neighbourhood Populierenbuurt is a mixed residential area with about 3,600 residents. Based on three reviews, opinions vary: one resident calls it "dangerous" and says "every day people are threatened with nasty things but otherwise, good shops etc." Another finds it "boring" with "many children causing trouble." A third notes "sometimes everything is a bit far but the most important shops are nearby." The neighbourhood has a high density of addresses (2,575 per km²), typical of a very strongly urban area. Most homes were built between 1945 and 1970, and nearly 40% are owner-occupied.
For daily shopping, you have an Albert Heijn just around the corner and a Coop a couple of streets away. The nearest primary school is a ten-minute walk, and there are two secondary schools within walking distance: Amstelveen College and Hermann Wesselink College. A GP is on your doorstep, and a park or garden is just a few minutes' walk. The municipality Amstelveen offers a good range of amenities, though the train station is 6.8 km away, so you'll rely on buses or a car for longer journeys.
At the time of writing the home is listed via Rijsterborgh Makelaars B.V. and also appears on Funda, so it's available through several channels.

Every day people are threatened with nasty things but otherwise, good shops etc. The safety is fine but as soon as you enter Middenhoven you have to watch out for people.
