Living in Bertelmanpleinbuurt, Amsterdam
The Bertelmanpleinbuurt is located in the southwest of Amsterdam, nestled between the Olympic Stadium and the broader Stadionbuurt. The neighbourhood takes its name from the Bertelmanplein, a modest but recognisable centre in a district that was laid out in the 1930s and 1940s as part of H.P. Berlage's Plan Zuid. This is reflected in the closed building blocks, brick facades and relatively wide streets with space for greenery. The housing stock mainly consists of porch and gallery flats from the post-war period, supplemented by some older Berlage blocks. The neighbourhood has a quiet, residential character without busy shopping streets or concentrations of restaurants within walking distance.
Facilities in the neighbourhood
The immediate density of facilities in the Bertelmanpleinbuurt itself is limited. For daily groceries, residents rely on the surrounding neighbourhoods: an Albert Heijn and a Dirk are within cycling distance via the Marathonweg or towards the Surinameplein. On the Amstelveenseweg, just outside the neighbourhood boundary, you will find more shops and eateries. Schools in the immediate vicinity are available for primary education, including schools in adjacent neighbourhoods such as the Marathonbuurt-West and the Marathonbuurt-Oost. For sports and recreation, the location is favourable: Vondelpark is accessible by bike, and the Amsterdamse Bos is a few minutes' cycle ride to the south. The Olympic Stadium and the sports facilities in the area around the Olympisch Stadion are literally around the corner.
Accessibility
Public transport connections in the Bertelmanpleinbuurt are reasonably good. Tram line 24 runs via the Amstelveenseweg and takes you to the city centre and Central Station in about twenty minutes. Bus lines towards Amstelveen also depart from the Amstelveenseweg. By bike, you can reach the centre of Amsterdam in half an hour, via Vondelpark or along the Overtoom. By car, you can quickly access the A10 ring road via the Amstel junction or the exit near the RAI, which also makes the neighbourhood attractive for commuters. Parking in this neighbourhood is permit-based; free parking spaces are scarce, especially on busy evenings and weekends around events at the Olympic Stadium.
Residents appreciate the tranquillity and green appearance of the neighbourhood, but are critical of the limited facilities within walking distance and the parking situation on event days. One resident writes: "Nice and quiet living, good connection to the city, but when there is an event at the stadium, the neighbourhood is full of visitors' cars."

Compared to the adjacent Van Tuyllbuurt and the IJsbaanpad en omgeving, the Bertelmanpleinbuurt has a quieter, more subdued character with a stronger housing association profile.
Does renting in Bertelmanpleinbuurt suit you as a tenant?
The neighbourhood particularly appeals to people seeking peace and quiet, who do not want to live too far from the city centre, and who value greenery in the surroundings. The largest age group is 25 to 45 years (330 out of 1,040 residents), followed by 45 to 65 years. With 390 single-person households and only 18% married households, this is not a typical family neighbourhood. Starters and singles looking for a rental home in a quiet environment with good public transport connections fit in well here. Families with children who depend on a wide range of facilities within walking distance may find other neighbourhoods more attractive. Social rental properties are available through housing associations, but waiting lists in Amsterdam are long. Registering with Woningnet is the designated route. For the private sector: respond quickly to available rental properties, as supply is limited. If you are considering buying, also check the supply of owner-occupied homes in Bertelmanpleinbuurt as an alternative.
