Living in Andreasterrein, Amsterdam
Andreasterrein is a relatively small, modern neighbourhood on the southwestern edge of Amsterdam Nieuw-West, nestled between the Henk Sneevlietweg and the Riekerpark area. The name refers to the former Sint Andreas Hospital, which made way for new-build apartments and a handful of townhouses. The result is a neighbourhood with predominantly recent construction: sleek apartment complexes of three to six storeys, many balconies and relatively spacious floor plans. This also explains the average area of 105 m² for rental properties in Andreasterrein.
The atmosphere is quiet and green, certainly by Amsterdam standards. Riekerpark is a stone's throw away, with walking paths along the Schinkel and the famous De Riekermolen windmill. Families with young children (215 residents are under 15) appreciate the playgrounds and open character. At the same time, there is a notable number of highly educated residents (60%) and people in their twenties and thirties: the 25-45 age group, with 400 people, is by far the largest.

Daily shopping can be done at the Albert Heijn on Delflandplein, about a ten-minute walk away. For a larger range of shops, head to Osdorp shopping centre or Gelderlandplein in Buitenveldert. The neighbourhood itself has limited dining and shopping options, which is honestly a downside. De Ark primary school and various daycare centres are located nearby. Sports enthusiasts can go to Sportpark Riekerhaven, just south of the neighbourhood, with football fields, tennis courts and an athletics track. De Mirandabad swimming pool is within cycling distance.
Accessibility of Andreasterrein
Accessibility is one of the strong points. Henk Sneevlietweg metro station (line 50) is a five-minute walk away and takes you to Amsterdam Central Station in fifteen minutes. Tram line 1 and several bus routes stop nearby. By car, you are on the A10 West within a few minutes, making commuting to Schiphol (ten minutes), Haarlem or The Hague easy. Cycling to Leidseplein takes about twenty minutes. Parking is permit-based in parts of the neighbourhood, but less problematic than in the city centre. Some new-build complexes have their own parking garages.
What do residents think of living in Andreasterrein?
On the neighbourhood page of Andreasterrein, residents share their experiences. A recurring theme is the peace and greenery: "It doesn't feel like Amsterdam here, more like a village on the edge of the city. That's exactly why we moved here." Residents appreciate the spacious homes and proximity to Riekerpark, but mention the limited shopping and dining options in the neighbourhood itself as a downside. Compared to the neighbouring Schipluidenbuurt, Andreasterrein is more expensive but also greener and newer in terms of construction.

Is Andreasterrein right for you as a tenant?
A rental home in Andreasterrein is particularly interesting for dual-income couples and young families with above-average incomes (the average household income is €62,700). The spacious apartments also attract expats who rent a home through their employer. First-time buyers with a smaller budget will struggle to find something in the free sector here. Those who want to rent a home in the social sector can register via WoningNet, but expect long waiting lists. Tip: respond quickly when something becomes available to rent in Andreasterrein, because with 51 rented homes in a year, supply is limited. Have documents such as an employer's statement and payslips ready in advance. Also consider homes for sale in Andreasterrein as an alternative, given the high rental prices.
