Living in BurgemeesterTellegenbuurt-West, Amsterdam

BurgemeesterTellegenbuurt-West is located in the district Zuid Pijp, in the southern part of Amsterdam, bordering the Pijp. The neighbourhood has a quiet, somewhat subdued character compared to the hustle and bustle of the Pijp itself. The streets are clear, and the buildings largely consist of pre-war and early post-war porch flats and closed building blocks, typical of Amsterdam's urban expansion in the first half of the twentieth century. You will find little new construction here: the neighbourhood is complete, built-up and stable. This gives a certain familiarity, but also little dynamism in the housing supply.
