Since the completion of the neighbourhood in 2004, there has been a clear decline and impoverishment. Liveability is structurally under pressure. Assessment: The neighbourhood scores insufficient on the following aspects: Safety, Community spirit, Hygiene, Education / upbringing climate, Green spaces, Facilities, Accessibility. Explanation per aspect: Safety: Parking and driving on pavements and footpaths. Unsafe situations for pedestrians and playing children. Nuisance from hanging groups and fatbike groups, especially in the evenings. Insufficient visible enforcement. Community: High turnover in apartments, little connection to the neighbourhood. Hardly any social cohesion or mutual accountability culture. Little involvement in the living environment. Hygiene: Structural dog poop on grass fields; the clean-up duty is not observed. Lots of litter, including sweet and crisp wrappers, also in private gardens. Insufficient cleaning and maintenance by the municipality. Education / upbringing climate: Children play outside without supervision. Norms and values regarding waste, respect for others' property and public space are visibly lacking. Negative role model for younger children. Green: Poorly maintained green spaces. Grass fields polluted and therefore not usable for recreation. Unattractive and unkempt street scene. Facilities: Insufficient parking facilities, partly due to company vans. No clear facilities to combat nuisance (such as extra bins or supervised play areas). Accessibility: Pavements and footpaths often blocked by parked vehicles. Poor accessibility for the elderly, prams and people with disabilities. What could be improved: Active and visible enforcement of parking, dog poop and nuisance. Tackling long-term parked company vans. Improvement of municipal maintenance of green and public space. Placement of extra bins and targeted cleaning actions. Structural deployment of neighbourhood police and enforcement officers, especially in the evenings. Measures to strengthen social cohesion and encourage residents to take more responsibility. Clear communication about norms, rules and consequences.
Auto-translated to English by AINice house Lots of green Shopping centre nearby Public transport accessibility could be better Not safe due to nuisance from youths, who learn their behaviour from their parents. Disrespectful, selfish. No sense of community. Hygiene: shit everywhere on the grass field is not cleaned up, youths just throw packaging into gardens.
Auto-translated to English by AIThe neighbourhood started off quite well. New houses, new residents. However, after a number of residents moved away and were replaced by the next residents, it has deteriorated a lot. Besides a huge increase in nuisance from night flights from Schiphol, the mutual social behaviour has dropped to zero. It is a neighbourhood with many children who find the antisocial behaviour of their parents so normal that they don't know any better and copy their parents' behaviour. In recent years, there has been a lot of nuisance and vandalism by whole groups of terrorising children. These children are getting older and are now starting to show different behaviour or moving away. Addressing people and talking about it is not accepted. And bullying is a daily occurrence, especially if you keep your distance from these people. Because you already know that talking and addressing them backfires. Because if you don't join in or show the same antisocial behaviour, you are treated like a pariah. In Kudelstaart there is supervision by a neighbourhood police officer, and after the shooting you see more police and enforcement. However, if you contact the neighbourhood officer or ask the police for help, you can forget about it. We have plenty of beautiful nature and greenery in and around the neighbourhood. Education could be better. There is childcare, primary school education (the level is not great) and there is a VMBO (which also has a not-so-good reputation). However, for children who go to havo or vwo, you have to look further. Accessibility by public transport is very poor. There is a bus station in Aalsmeer that the bus from Kudelstaart goes to. However, the bus does not connect at all with the other buses. It would be nice if at least one bus every quarter or half hour went directly to the nearest train station (e.g. Hoofddorp) without having to transfer. Maybe the tram from Uithoorn could be extended to Kudelstaart. Facilities are sufficient but could also be better.
Auto-translated to English by AIReasonably neat neighbourhood. Unfortunately, there is nuisance from screaming neighbours, drunk neighbours, antisocial behaviour towards neighbours who distance themselves from it. So if you don't belong or don't want to belong, you'd better brace yourself. Little empathy and understanding. A lot of nuisance from vandalism of cars and personal belongings. In addition, there are regularly groups of young people who terrorise the neighbourhood by "ring and run", and if you don't respond, they then bang on the windows. Furthermore, windows are smeared with eggs and yoghurt. The neighbourhood police officer is very hard to find, the police do nothing, confronting the neighbours backfires.
Auto-translated to English by AII personally never really felt unsafe in the neighbourhood. I think it's a nice neighbourhood to live in with hardly any problems. A small, pleasant village, but public transport is a bit lacking. There is only one bus that runs every half hour, and the direct connection to Amsterdam-Zuid will be discontinued in the summer of 2024. Other than that, it's an extremely quiet living environment.

About Kudelstaartseweg 182, Kudelstaart
The asking price is 56% above the neighbourhood average of €655,550, which puts it on the high side. However, the floor area of 172 m² is 42% larger than the local average of 121 m², so you are getting more space. The price per square metre works out at about €5,960, compared to the neighbourhood average of €5,686 per m². Whether it is fair depends on how much you value the extra space and the specific location.
The energy label is D. In the neighbourhood, 60% of homes for sale have label A, 20% have label B, and 20% have label D or lower. So this home is less efficient than most of the current stock. With label D, you can expect higher heating costs compared to a more modern, better-insulated home. The exact running costs depend on usage and energy prices.
Public transport is limited. The nearest train station is 10.1 km away, so you would rely on buses. There is a bus service to Aalsmeer bus station, but connections to train stations like Hoofddorp are not direct. Residents note that the bus timings do not always align well with other services. A car is almost essential for commuting.
Based on resident reviews, the sense of community is weak. Some describe the neighbourhood as having little social cohesion, with high turnover in apartments and a lack of mutual accountability. There are reports of nuisance from youths and antisocial behaviour. However, the area has many families with children, and some residents appreciate the green surroundings.
Safety is a concern for some residents. Reviews mention unsafe situations for pedestrians and playing children due to parking on pavements, and nuisance from groups of youths, especially in the evenings. The total number of recorded crimes in the neighbourhood is 166, but no breakdown is given. Residents call for more visible enforcement and a neighbourhood police officer.
There are several primary schools within walking distance: Openbare Basisschool Kudelstaart (165 m), Antoniusschool (233 m), and KC De Ruimte (579 m). For secondary education, Yuverta mavo Aalsmeer is about 2.5 km away. For higher-level secondary schools (havo/vwo), you may need to travel further, as the local VMBO has a mixed reputation.
Yes, there is a park or public garden just 500 m away, so a five-minute walk. The area also has plenty of nature and greenery around the neighbourhood, according to residents. However, some note that the grass fields are poorly maintained and polluted with dog mess, making them less usable for recreation.
In the neighbourhood, sold homes took an average of 50 days to sell. That is a reasonable pace, suggesting neither a very fast nor a very slow market. The current listing has 10 homes for sale, with prices ranging from €345,000 to €1,450,000.
