They note that while there are occasional disturbances, the area feels safe (especially if you're a tall man), and there's a lot of diversity and greenery. The buildings are described as ugly and the streets dirty, but the resident also finds it cosy. Based on one review, the neighbourhood scores a 6.63. It's a densely populated area with many young adults and a mix of households. For more on the area, see neighbourhood Overtoomse Veld-Zuid.
For your morning bread, Albert Heijn is on your doorstep, literally 20 metres away. Lidl is just around the corner. For school runs, OBS de Toekomst (primary) is a couple of streets away, and DENISE (secondary) is a five-minute walk. The neighbourhood has plenty of amenities, though for clothes shopping you'd head to the city centre. The municipality Amsterdam offers good public transport connections, with a train station a ten-minute walk away.

I live in Nieuw-West in Amsterdam. It doesn't have a very good reputation, which is partly justified but partly not so bad. Yes, every now and then you hear an explosion, which certainly isn't pleasant, but when you walk through the neighbourhood there's also a lot of diversity and I almost never feel unsafe (though that doesn't say much as a 1.90m man). Furthermore, it can be very cosy and there's a lot of greenery in the area, which is also very nice. The buildings are ugly, but I can live with that. The street is also very dirty, because apparently nobody cares about nature and the streetscape, so everything gets thrown on the street. In terms of amenities, there's enough, but if I need clothes, for example, I have to go to the city centre, so that's why it's not rated very high but still sufficient. The city centre is (by Amsterdam standards) fortunately not very far to cycle and there's also a train station nearby and the metro goes there too.
