Living in Botteskerkbuurt, Amsterdam

The Botteskerkbuurt is located in the Nieuw-West district, as part of the Osdorp-Midden neighbourhood. It is a post-war expansion area, largely built in the 1950s and 1960s. This is evident in the types of housing: porch flats, gallery flats and stacked apartments dominate the streetscape, interspersed with some terraced houses. The architecture is functional and sober, but the spatial layout is spacious. Streets are wide, there is plenty of greenery between the buildings and the neighbourhood exudes a certain tranquillity that you won't quickly find in the city centre of Amsterdam.

Residents describe the neighbourhood as mixed and colourful. Marianne writes: "A lot of living pleasure" and calls it a colourful neighbourhood, which accurately reflects the diversity of the population. Anas adds that it is "quite quiet, but sometimes things do happen", which gives an honest picture of a neighbourhood that is predominantly peaceful but not entirely free of incidents.
