Living in Augustinuspark, Amstelveen
Augustinuspark is a post-war residential neighbourhood in the southern part of Amstelveen, built in the 1960s and 1970s as part of the planned expansion of the city. The neighbourhood takes its name from the nearby Augustinuskerk and has a recognisable stamp from that construction period: porch flats, multi-family homes in stacked construction, and a spacious, green layout with plenty of greenery between the buildings. It is not a neighbourhood that stands out for architectural highlights, but rather for a certain tranquillity and clarity that residents appreciate.
The housing mix is diverse. Alongside the housing association flats, there are also private rental apartments and a modest number of owner-occupied homes. Those looking for a rental home in Augustinuspark will find predominantly apartments in multi-family buildings here. Ground-based single-family homes are scarce and rarely offered in the free sector.
Amenities in Augustinuspark
For daily shopping, you hardly need to leave the neighbourhood. The Stadshart of Amstelveen, the municipality's large shopping centre, is within cycling distance and offers a wide range of supermarkets, shops, and eateries. Within the neighbourhood itself, amenities are limited, which residents sometimes mention as a drawback. There are primary schools accessible in and directly around the neighbourhood, including schools in the adjacent districts of Keizer Karelpark. For secondary education, students rely on schools elsewhere in Amstelveen or Amsterdam. In terms of sports, the neighbourhood benefits from the proximity of sports parks and green strips in the area; the Amsterdamse Bos is a short bike ride away for those who want to walk, run, or cycle.
Accessibility
The accessibility of Augustinuspark is reasonable, although the neighbourhood is not the best-connected spot in Amstelveen. By bus, the Stadshart and Amsterdam's metro network are reachable; line 300 and several other city lines run through or past the neighbourhood. The nearest metro stop is in the Stadshart of Amstelveen (North/South line, station Amstelveen Westwijk or Amstelveen Centrum), from where you can reach Amsterdam Central in about twenty minutes. By car, the A9 is the main connection towards Amsterdam, Schiphol, and the rest of the Randstad. Parking is generally possible without a permit on most streets, although it can be tight during busy periods. By bike, the centre of Amstelveen is reachable in ten minutes and Amsterdam Zuid in about twenty minutes.
Atmosphere and residents
The largest age group in Augustinuspark is 25 to 45 years (over 1,000 residents), followed by 45- to 65-year-olds and a relatively large group of over-65s (495). Single-person households are the most common (775), giving the neighbourhood a mixed character: young professionals, older singles, and some families live here together. The average income is €36,900, noticeably lower than the municipal average of €50,600, giving the neighbourhood a different socio-economic profile than, for example, the nearby Keizer Karelpark.
On the neighbourhood page of Augustinuspark, residents rate the neighbourhood a 7.2 out of 10. Safety (9.0) and sense of community (9.0) score notably high.

Accessibility and amenities score a 7.0, confirming the picture that the neighbourhood is functional but does not excel in vibrancy.
Those looking for more urban dynamism might also consider the Stadshart or Elsrijk, both with a slightly different character and supply. Within the Keizer Karelpark district, neighbourhoods like Oude Dorp and Kastanjebuurt are also worth exploring, each with its own atmosphere and rental price level.
